T HIS BOOK, dedicated as a Memorial Volume to the men of the First and 
Second Fort Sheridan Training Camps, who gave their lives to the cause 
of Liberty and Justice, is issued with the fervent hope that it may, in a small 
measure, convey tribute to those gallant sons of the Middle West whom we 
knew and loved. 

Many willing hands have had to do with the compiling and gathering of 
material and data herewith presented, and the work, which has been over a 
year in prepration, is one in which no effort has been spared. 

Thanks are first due to the officers and directors of the Fort Sheridan 
Association, that organization born of necessity during the Second Camp, for 
the broad and liberal aid which made this book possible. To the mothers and 
fathers of the lads who “Went West", the Fort Sheridan Association presents 
a copy; and to every member of the Association a volume will be donated. 
The cost of which comes out of the Association treasury. 

Mrs. Chester M. MacChesney, director of the Home Service Department 
of the Fort Sheridan Association, has patiently and faithfully gathered photo¬ 
graphs and data covering the records of the Roll of Honor. 

Colonel Halsted Dorey, who commanded the Fourth Infantry overseas, 
and who, under the direction of Major-General Leonard Wood, was one of 
the most indefatigable workers for training camps throughout the United 
States, has aided the work with a short synopsis of the Training Camp 
Movement. 

To Myron E. Adams, who, more than any other man, has made the Fort 
Sheridan Association what it is today, and who, as Director of Morale during 
the Second Training Camp, did so much to keep up the spirit of clean sports 
and healthy recreation and, as executive secretary of the Fort Sheridan 
Association, carried on the great work of the organization while the members 
were in service, the compiler is greatly indebted for the cheerful co-operation 
given. 

To Waldo M. Allen, a member of the First Battery of the First Camp, for 
his descriptive word picture of the First Training Camp. 

To the International Film Company and the Chicago Daily News for 
their hearty co-operation in securing the photographs of the training camp 
days. 

And last, but not least, to the many individuals who furnished informa¬ 
tion when all other sources seemed futile. 

If this Memorial Book, in its way, conveys a bit of human companionship 
and carries with it a breath of friendship from those who served to those 
whose loved ones sleep o’erseas and at home, its labor shall not have been 
in vain.

A GREATER GIFT 


By Charlotte Becker 

When on the clamorous battlefield 
The captain fell. 

Men said, “How great his sacrifice 
No words may tell. 

Ah, well, they did not know, those sons 

Of drum and fife- 

He did but give his death, while one 
Gives all her life.

The Power of a Nation 
Is Its Trained Manhood

T HIS IS THE RECORD of the men from Fort Sheridan, “the minute men 
of the Great War”, who were torn from desk and workshop and thrown in 
a camp to learn the rudiments of soldiering in the shortest possible time to 
save our country from a foreign foe. Almost two precious years were allowed 
to pass with the whole world aflame, yet no attempt was made to prepare for 
the conflict that we had to enter to save civilization. 

They came as students, these full grown men, and became pupils again 
under school masters. They sat at the feet of anyone who could show them 
this game of war, this life and death game that was thrust upon us. They were 
filled with the zeal of crusaders, for they felt the call, the Nation s call to them 
for sacrifice. 

No men ever responded more cheerfully or conformed to rigid military 
discipline with better grace than these same student soldiers. They worked 
hard for the prize of being a commissioned officer, and their application was 
thorough because each one realized that to omit anything might be fatal to 
him at a critical moment. 

The graduates of Fort Sheridan have justified every prophecy made of 
them. The lessons they learned at Fort Sheridan they applied at Chateau 
Thierry, Belleau Woods, and the Argonne Forest. They entered every branch 
of the service; they acquitted themselves with honor; they were marked men 
because they reflected in the army the lessons taught them at Fort Sheridan. 

This could be accomplished only because of the class of men sent to Fort 
Sheridan and the spirit of devotion to the cause they carried in their hearts. 
The pity of it all is the sacrifice they were called upon to make, on the altar of 
their country. 

The task set for the men of Fort Sheridan they accomplished. They paid 
the price exacted and these pages record the heroic deeds performed by those 
who have gone beyond, but there is still another task undone which remains 
for those who have survived to make sure that those who died have not died 
in vain. The greatest monument that can be dedicated to their honor and 
the only one great enough for their sacrifice is “A law enacted that will forever 
prevent the necessity for such sacrifices in the future. You owe it to your 
sons, your grandsons, and all coming generations, that the lessons taught by 
this war will not pass unheeded. You owe it to yourself, and to your country, 
to train the youth of this land so that in any crisis that arises where resort to 
arms must govern, our young men will be trained in their youth in those 
elements of military life that will enable them to join the colors at once should 
they be called.

INTRODUCTION 


Drive the lesson home to everyone, make our people understand it, 
educate them to the necessity of saving this country from wars and rumors of 
wars, place the task on the shoulders of all and the burden will be light. 

With this accomplished, our fallen student officers will sleep in peace. 
Their reward will be a prosperous nation, a war free nation. 

Those who have been so fortunate as to have passed through this awful 
struggle and lived, let them spread the gospel of “Preparedness”, let them 
remind their forgetful neighbors that, behind all agreements, behind all treaties, 
behind all League of Nations or Ha gue Tribunals, there must be organized 
power to compel obedience. This power of a nation is its trained manhood; 
without it we have to petition for peace, with it we dictate peace. 

J. A. RYAN, 

Brigadier-General U. S. Army, 
Commandant of Second Fort Sheridan Training Camp. 



Americanism 
in Action 


The Fort Sheridan 
Association

Executive Manager The Fort Sheridan Association 










F RIENDSHIP and Necessity were the parents of the Fort Sheridan Asso¬ 
ciation. Long before the actual organization was born and given a 
name, the way was being prepared. 

The Spring of 1917 brought to Fort Sheridan thousands of men who 
had much in common. They had not waited. They had all stepped out of 
business, professions, colleges, and placed themselves at the disposal of the 
Government. They differed a great deal in age, ability, experience, and in 
other respects, but when they were packed away in the barracks at night or 
marched away on a hike by day, the past was erased and men were measured 
within the companies by what they had in their personalities, not by what 
the outside civilian said of them. 

Never were men subjected to a more careful personal scrutiny than in 
these companies. Corporal Common Sense or General Ridicule warned each 
candidate daily against depending for his position upon something that his 
family had done or he had accomplished before enlisting. 

It was a wholesome atmosphere. Men tried to win respect by doing 
their best and showing their strongest side, realizing that progress and oppor¬ 
tunity depended largely upon the good will of their associates. 

In these close associations, men came to know each other. They found 
out some of the difficulties that lay behind the daily routine. They rubbed 
elbows, not merely on the march, but in some of the quiet hours when they 
visited with their “bunkies.” 

Here is one illustration—there were hundreds more. Two men bunked 
side by side—one, a carpenter by trade, came from a small village up North; 
the other, a leading young business man, from a large city. As they worked 
together a real friendship developed and a mutual understanding. 

In the course of their training the business man learned a great deal from 
the carpenter, who had military experience and real qualities of leadership, 
and the carpenter was never too tired to explain everything to him. Both 
were reticent about their personal affairs, but one night the business man 
knew that his “bunkie” was in trouble. The carpenter rolled sleeplessly on 
his cot. Early the next morning the business man took him aside and made 
him explain. This was what he found out: 

The carpenter had left a sickly wife and two children at home in order 
to come to Fort Sheridan. His wife had been in the hospital. One of the 
children was sick and funds were exhausted. The paltry $ 100 a month 
which the candidate received, without an allowance of quarters of the family, 
would not meet his obligations. He must resign. 


18 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


The business man went to see the commander of the company, told him 
the circumstances, and asked permission to have his pay given each month 
to his “bunkie,” explaining that he regarded his experienced services as im¬ 
portant enough to justify the Captain urging him not to resign. 

This the company commander did, and when he told the carpenter that 
his “bunkie” wanted his monthly pay placed to his account, he hesitated for 
a moment and said, “If he can afford to do it, I will take it, although I 
wouldn’t take it from any one else, for we are both in the same boat and he 
understands.” 

And the businesss man thought of the hundreds and thousands he had 
spent in pleasure in this and other lands and realized that he never had either 
the same pleasure or the same spirit of giving through all his experiences. 

At the close of the camp, both these men were commissioned. The 
carpenter completed the service as a major and so did the business man, but 
back of that they both came out with a better understanding of life: a broader 
mutual kindliness. 

Through the course of the months the necessity and the spirit increased. 
Men who were to share the hazards of battle were not merely involving them¬ 
selves, but thousands of others—Mothers and Fathers—Wives and Sisters. 

Sometimes you would see a little woman come into the camp from a 
distance. Her little children were with her. There was a look of pride as the 
long lines swept by. There was a rush of tender embrace when the ranks 
were broken and the father greeted the new arrivals, and there was an equal 
touch of sadness when they departed. 

Sometimes you would see a man, silent, apart, troubled. Investigation 
would show that he was not afraid of the battle line, he was not above going 
as a private if he did not win a commission, but he could not shake off the 
anxiety about those whom he should leave behind. 

Worry and anxiety are the worst foe the soldier faces. They handicap 
him from the start. If he is an officer, they affect his intelligent direction of 
his men, his ability to grasp situations, as well as the spirit which he imparts 
to those who serve with him. His depression becomes not merely a personal 
inconvenience, but a severe handicap to all his men. 

He accepts the risks of battle, the discomforts of camp, as the fortunes 
of war, but when he faces the anxiety for the ones he left behind him, that 
is another question. There is where he must have real friends. The organ¬ 
ization of the army did not contemplate this. But there was nothing in the 
regulations to say it should not exist. 

When the Fort Sheridan Association idea was suggested to the leaders 
in the Regular Army, they were immediately its strong backers. They appre¬ 
ciated the thought of linking together the friendship of leaders for the mutual 
protection and encouragement of the family; of caring for both the fighting 
edge of a man and for the relations which he can never leave behind him, go 
where he may. 

















THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


The Fort Sheridan Association was the outgrowth of this fraternal spirit 
as well as the practical disposition to develop every factor possible which 
could help men through the period of their actual services. 

With no precedent to guide them except the peculiar problems which 
emerged as their training period closed or loomed up in the more trying days 
ahead, the men of the two camps agreed to form a great fighting fraternity 
which would serve as a means of combining their strength for more efficient 
service. 

Colonel James A. Ryan, Commanding Officer of the Second Reserve 
Officers’ Training Camp, after consulting with representative leaders of the 
First Camp, selected officers who had been trained in the First Camp to 
represent every company, every officer being a graduate of the company which 
he represented. In addition, he instructed each company of the Second Camp 
to elect a delegate, to meet jointly in an executive session to complete arrange¬ 
ments for a permanent association. 

These delegates met on November 2, 1917, and organized the Fort 

Sheridan Association. Several subsequent meetings were held by the com¬ 
mittee, which resulted in the preparation of a constitution and by-laws and 
the adoption of the following plan of operation.

ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 


21 


On November 7th the representatives met and adopted the plan. On 
November 14th a meeting of all candidates was held, the constitution was 
adopted, and the following officers were elected: 

Col. James A. Ryan, President and Director. 

Maj. Philip Fox, First Vice-President—Representing Illinois men. 

Capt. J. Brooks Nichols, Second Vice-President—Representing Michigan 
and Wisconsin men. 

Maj. J. W. E. Taylor, Third Vice-President—Representing Colorado 
and Missouri men. 

Maj. William I. Shuman, Secretary and Director. 

Lt. John A. Broeksmit, Treasurer. 

Capt. Myron E. Adams, Chairman, Board of Directors. 

Maj. Henry B. Gale, Director. 

Lt. James C. Hutchins, Jr., Director. 

Maj. A. A. Sprague, II, Director. 

Capt. John A. Stevenson, Director. 

The following day the men were called together by Regiments and were 
addressed by Colonel Ryan on the purposes of the organization. They were 
given an opportunity to join and to pay their annual membership fee, and 
practically every man at the camp joined at this time. 

The closing days of camp were busy days. Many practical problems 
pressed upon the men. One of the largest was the high cost of equipment. 
The newly-commissioned officer had to purchase all of his equipment. Noth¬ 
ing could be had from the quartermasters. Each man had to go into the 
open market and purchase what he needed within a week after graduation. 

Some 1,600 men were commissioned and ordered to foreign service; 
about 1,500 were assigned to divisions then in training at home. The aver¬ 
age cost of complete equipment for foreign service was $500, so that the 
total purchases of these men would amount to a million and a half dollars. 

The Fort Sheridan Association, as its first work, arranged to substitute 
collective buying for the individual purchasing. Myron E. Adams, Director 
of Morale, was instructed by Col. James A. Ryan to make such an arrangement 
for the men. A representation of every company was called together, a com¬ 
plete list of all purchases necessary was made. Men were selected who were 
familiar with making such purchases on a big scale. Harry Kimbark, of the 
Sixteenth Company, was made Chairman of this Committee and they rushed 
into Chicago to tackle the job. It was the first big skirmish of the Fort 
Sheridan men and they came back with the report that they had made arrange¬ 
ments with various Chicago stores whereby a deduction of practically 1 5 per 
cent would be made on all purchases. In cases where purchases had been 
made, that part would be returned. In the first three days of its operation, 
the Association, by mutual co-operation, had saved its members approxi¬ 
mately $200,000. That was a good start, and sent many men away to their 
work with more heart for the task.

ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Another situation arose when orders were opened and it was discovered 
that more than one-half of the men commissioned would have to go to France 
within a month. 

Contrary to common reports, there were comparatively few men of large 
means in the Training Camps. The great majority, particularly among older 
men, were men who had made large financial sacrifices at great hazards both 
to themselves and families, and frequently these same men who were classified 
as the most capable leaders were absolutely dependent upon their salaries and 
the strictest economy to keep their families from disaster. 


When these men and others who were without families, but who had no 
large reserve, read these orders, they did not see how they could comply with 
the regulations to report at the Port of Embarkation fully equipped. Some 
came to the Commandant’s office to present their resignations. The situation 
was serious. These men must be provided with money without the usual 
security and without any delay. 

The responsibility of meeting this situation fell immediately upon the 
Association Board of Directors. The policy adopted at that time lies at the 
foundation of all subsequent success the organization may have had. It was 
proposed to loan $250 to applicants who were ordered to foreign service and 
$75 to those ordered to home service—repayments to be made at the running 
rate of interest on the basis of $ 1 5 for Second Lieutenant, $20 for First Lieu¬ 
tenant, and $25 for Captain, per month, until paid. It was further agreed 
that the question of a man’s financial condition or his personal standing should 
not be brought up, but that in every case possible where a man honorably 
stated that he needed the money for equipment, or for making emergency 
arrangements previous to sfich service, that the Board would grant him the 


amount. 

In preparation for this loan, Maj. Albert A. Sprague, II, Capt. John A. 
Stevenson, Lt. James Hutchins, Jr., and Maj. J. W. E. Taylor interviewed 
Chicago banks and arranged with the Merchants Loan & Trust Company, 
Harris Trust & Savings Bank, First National Bank, Illinois Trust & Savings 
Bank and the Continental & Commercial National Bank for the necessary 
loans of $1 75,000. At the same time they arranged with Mr. J. J. Mitchell, 
president of the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank, and others, for the organization 
of a Citizens’ Committee. 


Upon 

information 


their return to Fort Sheridan on the closing day of the camp, 
was sent to the companies that these loans would be made. 


More than one thousand men were in the line that asked for these loans, 
and the Board of Directors worked practically all night, so that the men could 
get their checks and take the trains to their homes for the brief period before 
they reported for duty. 

On the last morning of the camp, the Association advanced to its mem¬ 
bers over $125,000 and helped many a man to go home with head up and 
heart stronger and purposes higher because he had been able to depend upon 




24 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


the confidence and good will of the men who were to lead the New Army 
with him. 

After the departure of the Second Camp, the office of the Association 
was moved to the Conway Building, Chicago, where applications for loans in 
person and by letter increased rapidly, all of our forces working on corre¬ 
spondence and upon investigation of loans. During the week when our Direc¬ 
tors had their ten-day leave, it was necessary to incorporate our organization 
and reorganize its administrative force. This was done to the entire satisfac¬ 
tion of the officers who had previously served and the splendid spirit in which 
the new civilian officers accepted the responsibility has been greatly appre¬ 
ciated by all. 

The following men were elected to serve during the period of the war: 

Alfred Cowles, President and Director. 

William V. Kelley, Secretary and Director. 

Harry E. Weese, Asst. Treasurer. 

J. Harry Selz, Director. 

John W. Scott, Director. 

Wallace Winter, Director. 

George A. McKinlock, Director. 

William C. Boyden, Director. 

John J. Mitchell, Chairman Citizens’ Committee. 

James C. Hutchins, Sr., Legal Adviser. 

William B. Mcllvaine, Legal Adviser. 

The Board of Directors then elected Capt. Myron E. Adams, who had 
been commissioned on the staff of the Adjutant General of Illinois, at the 
request of General Ryan, as Executive Manager in charge of the administra¬ 
tive work of the Association. 

The Fort Sheridan Association was fortunate in securing the support and 
active help of these understanding business men. They gave largely of their 
time and experience and helped to establish the standing of the organization 
immediately in Chicago and throughout the country. 

Alfred Cowles, who was the president of the organization from Decem¬ 
ber 13, 1917, to July 16, 1919, gave the Association an immense amount of 
personal attention and daily service during the greater part of this period. His 
personal interest in the men, his determination that the work should be main¬ 
tained on an efficient business basis, his willingness to take the initiative when 
any new emergency arose, were factors which early placed the Association 
in a position where it could operate with a maximum of service and a minimum 
of strain. 

The officers on leave had only a few days in their home towns. In some 
cases they were able to secure voluntary support for the Fort Sheridan Asso¬ 
ciation from home sources, but in the majority of cases they were instructed 
to leave this to civilian representatives of the Fort Sheridan Association who 
would assume the responsibility after their departure. 

The Board of Directors, co-operating under Mr. J. J. Mitchell, Chairman 
of the Citizens’ Committee, with the assistance of Mr. Charles W. Folds, con¬ 
ducted a financial campaign lasting only one week in the City of Chicago

and raised approximately $125,000, which, with small amounts from other 
sources, has constituted the Fort Sheridan Association fund which has been 
used for loans, for assistance to families and for general work of readjustment 
after the war, but not a cent of this fund has ever been spent for current 
expenses. 

From the beginning of the organization, every effort was made by cor¬ 
respondence and visitation to include in the membership of the Fort Sheridan 
Association all the men from the First Camp as well as from the Second. 
Pamphlets containing information with reference to the Association were put 
in the hands of all officers at Camp Custer and Camp Grant and the Executive 
Manager subsequently visited these camps in order to enlist their membership. 
In this connection, it is interesting to state that the organization has never 
limited its usefulness or its help extended to members of the Association, but 
has, in all cases, endeavored to serve the men of the First Camp and their 
families regardless of whether they were members of the Association or not, 
and this has been true of hundreds of men outside the Fort Sheridan camps. 
It has always been the policy of the organization to extend its helpful services 
wherever they would accomplish the most good and not to be limited by 
any narrow idea of service, or any thought of its personal advantage. 

During the months of February and March, 1918, the Executive Manager 
visited the following camps: 

Camp Funston, at Fort Riley, where we had about 40 men—mostly 
captains, in some very responsible positions, who afterwards went overseas 
with the Eighty-ninth Division; Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, where we had 
130 men, all of whom went to France; Camp Zachary Taylor, at Louisville, 
where we had about 300 men; Camp Forest, at Chickamauga Park, near 
Chattanoga, Tenn., where we had 125 men; Camp Gordon, Atlanta, where 
we had 10 men; Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, South Carolina, the camp 
of the New York National Guard, where we had about 100 first lieutenants 
in new regular army units; Camp Greene, Charlotte, North Carolina, where 
we had two Chiefs of Staff and more than 100 officers, all of whom went 
across with the Third and Fifth Divisions; Camp Lee, Petersburg, Virginia, 
where we had 200 officers, and Camp Meade, Annapolis, Maryland, where 
we had 1 0 officers. 

The great majority of our men were at Camp Grant and Camp Custer. 
The entire officer organization, apart from a score of Regular Army officers 
at both camps, came from the First Fort Sheridan Camp. Camp Custer (the 
Eighty-fifth Division) was organized by the Michigan-Wisconsin Regiment of 
the First Camp, and Camp Grant (the Eighty-sixth Division) was organized 
by the Illinois Regiment of the First Camp. In most cases the officers were 
taken over intact by companies from these camps to train the new regiments, 
thus prolonging the friendship and acquaintances formed at Fort Sheridan 
throughout the period of the war. In each of these camps representatives 
of the Fort Sheridan Association were familiar with the work the organiza¬ 
tion could do and acted as an agent of the Association there. 




ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 


27 


How we helped in emergencies in these camps is illustrated by assistance 
rendered to the Eighty-sixth Division at the time they were preparing to leave 
Camp Grant for the Port of Embarkation. 

Several regiments of the Division did not have its complement of sec¬ 
ond lieutenants, so a hundred second lieutenants who were to graduate from 
the Fourth Officers’ Training Camp the day before the Division departed were 
ordered to secure equipment and to leave the following day. The Brigade 
Commanders exhausted every agency at Camp Grant, but could find no 
means of assistance. 

They telegraphed to Chicago on Friday. On the same day the officers 
of the Association arrived at Camp Grant and advanced $25,000 to the men 
who were commissioned that day and were allowed Saturday only to secure 
their entire equipment before they entrained on Sunday morning. 

Brig.-Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews wrote to the Association, as a result of 
this service, as follows: 

“I feel that I must attempt to express officially our deep obligation 
to your Association for the splendid thing you did for our young graduate 
officers in coming here and financing them in getting their military outfits. 
Frankly, I do not see what would have happened without your assist¬ 
ance. Three cases have come to my personal notice in which these young 
men had felt constrained to give up the commissions they had so hardily 
won because of financial inability to equip themselves to go overseas on 
such short notice. 

“Not only have they been helped out of this serious difficulty, but 
your Association has done this in such a way as to preserve their self¬ 
esteem and to add to their appreciation of the essential value of a bit 
of mutual consideration and co-operation in this vale of tears. 

“So I say your work is splendid, and I hope you may always realize, 
as I do now, that nothing you could do in Europe would compare in value 
to our service with what you are doing here in making possible a high 
morale in our young officers over there.” 

During the same period the Association was busy organizing local civilian 
backing for the men who had left their families to go into the service. The 
plan was to have on officer organization or a representation in each of the 
States from which our men had been selected, to work in co-operation with 
the central office in Chicago. Well-organized offices were in operation in 
Wisconsin and Michigan and representatives co-operated in the other States. 

The following constituted the organization: 

Detroit, Michigan— 

Murray Paterson, Secretary for Michigan. 

Miss J. Irene Finn, Detroit, Office Secretary. 

Miss J. C. Kershaw, Home Visitor. 

Mrs. F. C. Kidner, Representative on Red Cross Board. 
Milwaukee, Wisconsin— 

Fred Vogel, Jr., Chairman, Board of Directors, Milwaukee. 

Mrs. Robert E. Lee, Secretary for Wisconsin. 

Mrs. George Lines, Representative on Red Cross Board, Milwaukee.

Mrs. Chester M. MacChesney, Director Home Department. 

Miss Margaret Port, Office Secretary. 

Miss Mildred Mather, Office Secretary. 

Mrs. Eunice M. Sullivan, Bookkeeper. 

John Silverstein, Office Boy. 

To each of these, as well as to others co-operating with them, the Asso¬ 
ciation is deeply indebted. 

In March, 1918, the Home Service Department was organized. Mrs. 
Chester M. MacChesney was made director. Her policy has always been to 
consider every member of the family of our men as a personal friend. We 
have not waited to be called upon, whenever there was a report of any mis¬ 
fortune; we have immediately acted. A personal visit has been made—a 
letter has been sent to our local auxiliary or to our nearest State representative. 
The volume of correspondence, the number of visits, and the amount of time 
and energy given would surprise many of our friends not familiar with this 
work. 

In addition to this personal service, a very large amount of money has 
been advanced in the form of gifts and loans. A joint agreement was made 
with the National Officers of the Red Cross whereby there should be the 
closest co-operation between their local organizations and the Association. 
Representatives of the Association were to be selected in each community 
and placed on the Home Service Committee. Through this arrangement the 
usefulness of the Association was extended into hundreds of communities and 
the most harmonious and helpful service secured. 

Such service is extremely confidential and one of the reasons why the 
Association has had such rare opportunities for genuine helpfulness has come 
from the fact that people have understood this. They have written and have 
come to the office relying upon the spirit of friendship to understand their 
situation and they have been made to feel that there is nothing we could do 
that would begin to equal the treatment they had merited from their country 
for the services they had rendered and the sacrifices many of them had made. 

In this connection, it is almost needless to say that the biggest and best 
work done during this period can neither be described nor tabulated. Our

personal correspondence with people throughout this country and France gave 
us large opportunities for varied service, including legal, medical, military and 
business advice, as well as constantly giving encouragement to men at the 
front and women at home. 

The spirit of our office, both in Chicago and elsewhere, has always been 
to deal very directly and considerately with every opportunity that has come 
to us. We have tried to keep the personal relationship, believing that men 
and women who have been in trouble because of the emergency of the Great 
War deserve the greatest amount of personal consideration and that it is the 
aggregate of such personal service that actually makes up the test of the 
Association’s value. 

In connection with our Home Service Department we organized a 
Women’s Auxiliary in the City of Chicago first and afterwards extended 
branches throughout our whole district. The plan was to have occasional 
meetings of the mothers and wives of the men, at which time prominent 
speakers would appear. The women would have an opportunity to make 
acquaintance with each other, to secure information about their husbands 
and sons in the service, and to get better acquainted with the officers of the 
Association. No more inspiring sight was witnessed at home than the meet¬ 
ings held by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Fort Sheridan Association. As 
many as a thousand were together at one time, and every speaker and visitor 
was struck by the appearance of courage, kindliness and hopefulness shown, 
and the mothers, wives and sisters of our men took a great deal of pride in 
the fact that they belonged to this membership. It will be one of the big, 
helpful memories of the war that they had so much in common and made so 
many real friends on occasions like this. Mrs. MacChesney and the Executive 
Manager both traveled throughout the State, as well as into Michigan, Wis¬ 
consin, Missouri, Colorado and Kansas on this work, and saw a large propor¬ 
tion of these auxiliaries in action. 

It was discovered early in 1918 that a great injustice was being done 
officers with families who were in the field service. A ruling of the War 
Department provided that the allowances technically known as commutation 
of quarters, heat and light would be withheld wherever the Government fur¬ 
nishes tents or similar accommodations. The effect of this ruling was to put 
a premium on service at a station such as Washington, at the expense of the 
men serving in the field. 

The Association, early in March, began a campaign of enlightenment 
through the entire national press. Senator Chamberlain introduced a bill 
providing 

“that during the present emergency every commissioned officer of the 
Army of the United States, on duty in the field, or on active duty without 
the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, who maintains a place 
of abode for a wife, child or dependent parent, shall be furnished at the 
place where he maintains such place of abode, without regard to per¬ 
sonal quarters furnished him elsewhere, the number of rooms prescribed 
by the Act of March 2, 1907, to be occupied by, and only so long as 
occupied by, said wife, child or dependent parent; and in case such 



ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 


31 


quarters are not available, every such commissioned officer shall be paid 
commutation thereof and communtation of heat and light, at the rate 
authorized by law in cases where public quarters are not available; but 
nothing in the Act shall be so construed as to reduce the allowances now 
authorized by law for any person in the Army. 

We sent a special letter to all of the leading newspapers throughout the 
country, giving them the actual facts, the financial status of the officers with 
families, their responsibility, as well as an appeal for fair treatment. This 
letter was sent to more than 500 newspapers and immediately began to bring 
replies throughout every section. The following extract from the Buffalo 
Express” is a fair sample of the type of response received: 

“This being an officer in the United States Army is not all cakes 
and ale. Quite aside from the responsibilities which fall upon those in 
command, there are burdens which many of the young men who have 
gone into the service through the training camps are finding pretty 
heavy. They have discovered that it costs a good deal to be an officer, 
and a good many of the young men who are now lieutenants and cap¬ 
tains in the National Army went into the game without much thought 
as to what this might mean. Many of them are married and therefore 
have dependents and doubtless most of them have no appreciable re¬ 
sources outside of their pay. 

“A second lieutenant in the Army receives $141 a month, first 
lieutenant $166 and captain $200, with 10 per cent increase for foreign 
service. An officer, unlike a private, must maintain and equip himself. 
It has been figured that altogether these young officers are put to an 
expense of $450 for complete equipment for foreign service; or, figuring 
equipment and replacement, about $50 a month for the first year. Mess 
costs are considerable and in many of the camps officers have been com¬ 
pelled to provide their own quarters. They should take the Government 
insurance and they are supposed to buy a few Liberty Bonds. And 
about that time they begin to wonder where they are at, especially if 
married. 

“These are among the reasons urged in support of legislation now 
before Congress looking for mitigation of existing conditions. Some 
commutation for family quarters and a partial equipment for foreign 
service are asked. That surely is not an unreasonable demand. Espe¬ 
cially is it a just demand that the Government should furnish officers the 
service equipment required by regulations. 

“An agitation which is being organized in support of measures to 
this end is deserving of universal and hearty support. The necessary 
laws should be enacted by Congress at once and made retroactive to the 
beginning of the war.” 

Shortly afterwards, special hearing was given the bill in the Senate and, 
partly as a result of the publicity we were able to obtain for it, but largely 
because of its obvious justice, it was sent to the House. We then sent a letter 
to every State Council of Defense in the country, as well as to the newspapers 
that had been helpful, and on Wednesday, April 1 0th, the bill was brought 
before the House for final hearing and, in spite of some opposition, it was 
passed by a fair majority. In view of the later unwillingness of Congress to 
provide any relief on the matter of cost of equipment, passage of this bill 




32 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


meant a great deal to the families of the men throughout the country who were 
leading the Army. 

From the beginning of the organization, the granting of loans and the 
securing of repayments constituted one of our largest activities. In the first 
two days over $125,000 was loaned the men. The Association secured an 
allotment of pay, but discovered later that there was a regulation of the 
Quartermaster’s Department which made it impossible to secure returns in 
that way. Every man who had made a loan was notified of this fact and 
many repaid their loans monthly by check direct. 

In March the Executive Manager, on a visit to Washington, conferred 
with the Director of Finance in the Depot Quartermaster’s Department, and a 
change in the regulation was made, providing that officers were to be allowed 
to make allotments to others besides their families. After this, the allotments 
came in monthly, as arranged at the close of camp, and the matter of collec¬ 
tions from that time on was very much simplified, although a great deal of 
confusion resulted because the allotments were not paid for the first few 
months after the men left camp. 

Up to date, we have loaned and given to men in service and to their 
families $350,000. This has helped in a great many ways and has been 
deeply appreciated by the men. Their repayments were conscientious and 
showed the fine spirit in which they accepted the help offered. 


AFTER THE ARMISTICE 

At the time of the armistice in November, 1918, we were pressing the 
organization of smaller local organizations and extending the work of the 
Association on the broadest basis. The armistice came as a great relief to 
the home folks and with it a great pride in the knowledge that the participa¬ 
tion of our country in the war had helped to produce the final victory. 

Immediately the Association changed its plans to meet the requirements 
of men returning to civil life. Those who had been absent from their usual 
occupations for two or three years found conditions changed upon their return. 
The readjustment back to a self-supporting position in civil life was even more 
difficult than the entrance into the Army. 

The Board of Directors, in January, 1919, voted that all the activities 
of the Association should be directed toward replacing the returning men in 
suitable positions and in assisting the men and their families to get a fair start 
in civil life—that all other plans and purposes should be set aside in order 
that this work might be well done. 

In keeping with this policy, the Executive Manager organized, first, a 
group of employment advisers, representing every prominent profession, 
trade and industry in Chicago. He then attempted, although without great 
success, to organize similar committees throughout the six States of this dis¬ 
trict. In December, as chairman of the Organizing Committee of the newly 















34 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


formed Bureau of Soldiers and Sailors, he outlined the plan of organization 
which was subsequently adopted—namely, a centralized office, sufficiently 
large to take care of the problem of re-employing all men from the service; 
of employing service men to do this work on a business-like basis; also pre¬ 
senting the plan which eventually was adopted, by which the co-operating 
organizations should agree to support this Bureau of Soldiers and Sailors out 
of their own funds as a part of their readjustment work rather than to trust 
to Government support, which eventually would have failed, or to private 
initiative, which would never have been adequate. 

From December to March the Employment Bureau was maintained in 
connection with the United States Employment service at Dearborn and 
Washington streets. But in March, through the efforts of Maj.-Gen. Leonard 
Wood, who had just become commander of the Central Department, the 
Bureau of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines was much strengthened. Larger 
financial support was secured from co-operating agencies and the work was 
removed to 120 West Adams street. 

For a year this Bureau was the center of work for the returning soldiers, 
sailors and marines. More than 100,000 returning men registered there for 
some kind of service, and more than 40,000 positions were secured for men 
in civil life. 

The Fort Sheridan Association removed to the Bureau as soon as it 
opened and worked with it until it closed. Lieut. C. A. Rogers, Jr., was 
employed to take charge of the employment of returning officers and of 
specialized professions or businesses where special efforts were necessary. 
This position gave unusual opportunities for service. Thousands of men and 
women were helped directly in our office, while by correspondence with mem¬ 
bers and others at a distance we tried to assist returning men in every avail¬ 
able way. 

From January 1st to March 1, 1920, the Association, at the request of 
General Wood, and with the approval of the Citizens’ Committee which se¬ 
cured the special funds, agreed to assume all running expenses of the Bureau 
of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines until it closed its year’s work. This completed 
a record of practical and persistent service which compares favorably in 
Chicago with the largest national agencies. 

Members outside of Illinois can testify that the organization has also 
endeavored to reach out as far as possible. During the past year $50,000 
has been advanced to men and their families in all sections of the country 
and, as far as we have been able, we have co-operated with local agencies to 
accomplish everything possible. 

On July 17, 1919, the Civilian Board, having served faithfully during the 
period of the war, resigned in order that the machinery of the Association 
might be returned to the men who originally organized it. 

As a recognition of the broad lines adopted and the generous purposes 
for the future the Board of Directors elected in their places for the remainder 
of the term of three years, the following officers: General James A. Ryan, 





ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS 


35 


president; Maj. Albert A. Sprague, II, chairman Board of Directors; Maj. 
Philip Fox, first vice president; Maj. J. W. E. Taylor, second vice-president; 
Col. Abel Davis, third vice-president; Maj. John S. Miller, Jr., secretary; 
Lt. John S. Broeksmit, treasurer; Harry E. Weese, assistant treasurer. Direc¬ 
tors: Col. Abel Davis, Capt. Marshall Field, III, Maj. Thomas R. Gowenlock, 
Maj. John S. Miller, Jr., Gen. James A. Ryan, Maj. Albert A. Sprague, II, 
Capt. John A. Stevenson. 

The Association has consistently backed every effort to secure for return¬ 
ing ex-service men every help the Government could give them, and has 
championed their cause on every occasion. Complaints have been investi¬ 
gated. Information that wounded men were to be discharged from army 
hospitals before they were fit for civil life brought speedy action at Wash¬ 
ington from the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Maj. A. A. Sprague, and 
resulted in the order being revoked. Special cases outside the membership 
have been taken care of in homes and hospitals. In addition, the Association 
has given $10,000 to the American Legion to install a service department, 
believing that through such an organization large results would be secured. 

Throughout its whole career the Association has sought to do the greatest 
possible good to the largest number, without seeking credit or considering its 
own personal advantages. 

After the return of the men, several reunions have been held. Men 
came from long distances to be present. A larger reunion was held in Chi¬ 
cago, to which all of the members were invited. More than seven hundred 
attended. Every company in the First and Second Camps was represented. 
There was a spirit of a good fellowship which carried every man back to 
Fort Sheridan in 1917. Such reunions will be planned in the future in other 
cities and at Fort Sheridan. 

Records of men killed or wounded have been carefully kept. Full 
information is on file in our office and is always available to members. 

The memorial section of this volume contains a brief resume of each. 
No attempt has been made to go into detail. The fuller records carry a 
wealth of honorable service which will always be an inspiration to the mem¬ 
bers of the Association. 

Two hundred and seventy of our members were killed in the service. 
Many of them left dependent families, to which we are obligated by every 
law of life. Sometimes they have needed the simple testimony of our con¬ 
tinued interest and appreciation to help them over the lonely hours and the 
heavier responsibility. 

At Christmas time in December, 1919, the Association sent to the 
seventy children, whose fathers were our fellow officers and friends, a beau¬ 
tiful solid silver table ring with this inscription: 

“To. 

From his Father’s Brother Officers 
who served with him at Fort Sheridan in 191 7.” 




36 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


One of the replies will testify to how much even such a little token was 
appreciated: 

“Words so feebly express my feelings towards the men of the Asso¬ 
ciation that it is almost useless to try to put them on paper. The silver 
napkin rings which you sent to my babies were of themselves beautiful, 
but the sentiment which prompted the gift is to me of priceless value 
to be treasured in my heart to life s end and left as a wonderful heritage 
for my children. * * * I would like to personally thank every 

man of the Association, to clasp his hand and say, ‘God bless and 
prosper you.’ I do bless each one from the depth of my heart and some 
day, when my babies are able to understand, they will too. Will you, 
personally, please accept my thanks and prayers for all good things for 
you and whenever possible pass them on to the men of the Association. 

We want to close this story of the Fort Sheridan Association with the 
statement that all that is written here seems insignificant and paltry as com¬ 
pared with the living and deathless accomplishment of the thousands of men 
who, silently and unheralded, gave their best to their country. Men who even 
now are held by their wounds in distant hospitals—men who are handicapped 
in their future struggle for existence—wives and little children, mothers and 
fathers who paid the immeasurable price. 

We cannot do it justice, but there came to our office from a home where 
two sons (Lieuts. Bernard and Leon D. Van’t Hof) never returned, these 
words with which we close, believing that the truly great record was written in 
such lives as these: 

We had two sons; 

No braver lads than they. 

Those of their friends who knew them best can testify. 

In manliness their equal hard to find, 

In tenderness and love none might compare. 

Their kiss at greeting like unto the kiss of a sweet girl, 

Their parting kiss a benediction rare. 

Love and devotion marked their every step. 

And love grew on apace beneath our roof. 

Through darkening days of trouble and despair, 

Their true worth shone with a devotion rare. 

And wheresoever censure reared her head 
Their faithfulness remained without compare. 

Came country’s call. 

Arise! ye men. Arise! 

Give me your manhood’s strength. 

Go forth to battle for the cause 
The cause of mankind’s weal 
Democracy triumphant. 

They heard, 

They faltered not, 

They went. 

They spake in solemn tone and low, 

The call has come and we milst go. 

Our country calls, and we, 

Shall we be slow to answer? 

No. 

Does not God choose his instruments to carry out His plans 
And place within their hearts desire to serve? 

We go. 

We shall return if God so wills, 

But if it be His will that we should fall 
We pray for grace that we may give Him all. 

And so they went. 

Our hearts beat high as word came of their deeds, 




ITS HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Our tears flowed as we heard of wounds received. 

And when news came of decorations granted 
For valiant deeds performed, 

Supplanted were our tears and fears by pride and joy 

And grateful song we raised 

That God had given us two sons, two men, 

Who in the hour of trial failed not, nor faltered, 

But with head erect, and flashing eye and lion heart 
Met foe and vanquished him. 

Then came the sad, sad news, 

“Regret to state your son, leading 

His men to victory, was brought in bleeding from fatal wounds 
And has ‘gone west,’ 

Smiling, glad to have done his best.” 

Ah, God, now give us grace to say, 

Thy will be done. Thou gave and Thou hast taken. 

Be brave dear hearts, yet is thy cup not filled. 

God in His providence has willed, 

That you should offer all. 

And came the other message. 

Blotting like a pall remaining light, 

And hope took flight, and- 

We had given all. 

Ah, God, Thou art a Father 

And Thou didst give Thy Son that we might live, 

But Thou are God, 

And we are only human, 

And we are sad and lonesome for our lads, 

We miss their loving kiss, 

Their hearty greeting, 

Their cheering smile, 

And all the while the home-fire bright we’re keeping 
For their dear sakes. 

Perhaps, who knows, some day they will return, 

At night when all is silent, 

When stars are bright, 

And they will come 

And they will press our lips 

With the accustomed, ne’er to be forgotten goodnight kiss. 

Ah, God,-

The Birth 
of the Officers’ 
Training Camp 


Early Steps in Preparedness 


By 

COLONEL HALSTED DOREY 

4th Infantry, U. S. A. 


S OME one has said that the great reunion of the Blue and the Gray on 
the battlefield of Gettysburg in the Summer of 1913 was a most fitting 
close to the great drama of the Civil War. While the camp may have 
been built to serve as the stage for the last scene of the great Civil War, it 
was later used for the opening act of another play, which has already had a 
far-reaching effect upon our country, as it was really the prologue of our 
preparation for the great World War. 

As the camp began to take form, General Wood, who was then Chief 
of Staff in the Army, was inspired with the thought that, although it was being 
constructed for what would probably be the last great reunion of the men 
who had fought in the Civil War, it could well be used, when they were 
through with it, for the beginning of the training of men who were to fight in 
our future wars, and for whom so little had been done up to that time. He 
felt that in the next war, as in all our previous wars, the greater part of the 
fighting would be done by those who were just finishing or had just finished 
their preparation for their life s fight in civil life. He felt that just as their 
parents had made sacrifices to prepare them for their future civil life, their 
country should prepare them for the future military life which was almost 
bound to be thrust upon them. 

He therefore decided that the commencement should be made with 
college men, as they could best spare the time during their summer vacations. 
He communicated with the various colleges and universities in the country 
and finally succeeded in interesting enough to justify the holding of the first 
Students Training Camp. As there were no Government funds available for 
the purpose, the young men attending necessarily had to pay their own 
expenses and, in order to reduce the expenses as much as possible for the 
young men living in the far western part of the country, it was decided to 
hold a second camp at Monterey, California. As in all new movements of 
this kind, it was difficult to get publicity and only some 220 men attended 
these two camps in 1913, but, with the exception of the small attendance, the 
camps were in every way a success, and the men who attended them, upon 
returning to their colleges, spread the news among their fellow students. The 
heads of nearly all the larger universities and colleges in the country also 
became interested—notably Doctor Brinker, of Lehigh, who visited the 
Gettysburg camp several times, and was indefatigable in spreading the news 
of the good work accomplished there. The men who attended these first two 
camps organized themselves into “The National Reserve Corps,” which was 
supported by the “College Presidents’ Advisory Committee,” the member¬ 
ship of which included the presidents of all but one or two of the prominent 
colleges and universities of the country. Among the members of this com¬ 
mittee were President Lowell of Harvard, Hadley of Yale, and James of the 
University of Illinois.

In 1914, camps were held at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont; Ludington, 
Michigan; Asheville, North Carolina, and Monterey, California, with an at¬ 
tendance of over 700. In 1915, camps were held at Plattsburg, New York, 
and Ludington, Michigan, and the attendance rose to several thousand. All 
these camps were called Students’ Camps, and the age limit for admission 
was between 19 and 26 years. 

As the preparations for the 1915 camps progressed, it was noted that 
men beyond the maximum age limit were applying for permission to attend. 
This was partly due, of course, to the fact that a great war had broken out 
in Europe. The question was finally taken up with General Wood, who was 
then in command of the Eastern Department, and he decided if a hundred 
of these older men indicated their desire to attend a training camp, he would 
authorize the holding of a camp for their benefit at Plattsburg, after the 
students had finished their course. At first the men interested in the promo¬ 
tion of this camp received little encouragement. Up to about the middle of 
March, only some forty-six men had indicated a desire to attend. However, 
when the camp opened in July, the list had grown to some 1,250. On account 
of the prominent men who were enrolled in this camp, the attention of the 
whole country was called to it, and soon requests began to pour in from other 
localities throughout the country, asking for assistance in establishing similar 
camps. Few of the applicants appreciated the length of time necessary to 
make preparations for such a camp, and some, no doubt, felt that they did 
not receive the encouragement they were entitled to. The only additional 
camp that Summer was at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. The second business men’s 
camp was held at Plattsburg, from the middle of August to the middle of 
September, with an attendance of some 750. The men who attended these 
so-called business men’s camps formed an organization, which was combined 
with the society already organized by the students, under the name of “The 
Military Training Camps Association,’’ and this new organization immediately 
started a vigorous campaign for recruits for the training camps, to be held in 
the Summer of 1916. They also took up with Congress the question of a 
fuller recognition by the Government of these camps and the payment of 
expenses of the men attending them. In addition, they urged the establish¬ 
ment of an Officers’ Reserve Corps. The success of their work is to be found 
in provisions for these two purposes in the National Defense Act, passed by 
Congress in the Spring of 1916. They also arranged for Winter correspond¬ 
ence courses, for those who desired to do Winter military work at home. 
Although the enthusiasm of the men taking this correspondence course was 
remarkable, the Army officers preparing the course felt that it was not all 
what it should have been, their excuse being that none of them could be 
detailed on that exclusive duty, and that they had to prepare the lessons and 
criticise the papers in moments stolen from their other duties. 

In 1916 camps were held at Plattsburg, Fort Sheridan, and at the Pre¬ 
sidio of San Francisco, the students being organized into separate units from 
the older men. Four of these camps were held at Plattsburg, the largest one

being in July, with an attendance of about 7,000. Although over 25,000 
men enrolled, only some 1 7,000 actually attended, the shortage being due 
to the call of troops of the Regular Army and the National Guard to the 
Border, and the threatened railroad strike. Because of the latter, many busi¬ 
ness men were afraid to get far away from their business. Another handicap 
due to the call of troops to the Border was the resulting shortage of regular 
officers who were available to act as instructors. The new membership to 
the training camps association, resulting from the 1916 camps, gave an in¬ 
creased impetus to the recruiting and other activities of the association, and 
when we entered the war in 1917 the stage was set for a very much larger 
attendance in the 1917 camps than had been had in all the previous camps 
put together. 

As soon as it was ascertained that we were to enter the war, the members 
of the training camps association began to plan how they, as an organization, 
could best help the country, and it was due to their efforts that the first series 
of Officers’ Training Camps were inaugurated at such an early date, and with 
such a large attendance.

T HE United States of America need fear no war. If the sacred soil of 
that Nation is threatened with invasion, or her glorious name and honor 
defamed, a million men will spring to arms overnight to overthrow the 
most powerful and designing of invaders. Why be afraid? Have the armies 
of America ever been defeated by a foreign foe? 

Shortly after the Civil War the germ of such reasoning took root and, as 
the country prospered, the more deeply did it become imbedded. Nor did 
the Spanish-American War halt this train of thought. It seemed to convince 
a multitude that the United States could subdue a great European aggressor 
with a negligible amount of sacrifice and expense. 

Then came August 14, 1914. The laws of humanity violated, the honor 
of treaties destroyed, and Europe plunged in blood. America stood aghast. 

The months dragged on. The war progressed. Its scope increased. 
Country after country became involved. The fact that, by the end of the 
year 1916, the United States had not entered the conflict was in itself lament¬ 
able in the estimation of honor-loving Americans, although not so inexcusably 
tragic as the refusal as a nation to take steps on a large scale for preparation 
in order to be ready when the fatal day arrived. 

The War Department chafed under the situation. They knew only too 
well the difficulties ahead if war should come. They had extensive plans, but 
lacked the authority to carry them out. True, thanks to the untiring efforts 
of General Leonard Wood, training camps for college students were inaugu¬ 
rated during the summer of 1913. These camps were so successful that similar 
instruction was given each succeeding summer through the year 1916, not 
only for college men, but for business men as well. These camps were 
responsible for the enthusiasm of the men who established military instruc¬ 
tion in various universities, such as the formation of a Battalion of Field 
Artillery at Yale, and an Infantry Regiment at Harvard. Desire for prepared¬ 
ness alike spurred on the National Guard, an especial example of which was 
the development of the First Illinois Field Artillery and the First Cavalry of 
New York. 

In 1916 came the Mexican trouble which sidetracked temporarily interest 
in the European struggle but proved to be of benefit in exposing our deplor¬ 
able state of unpreparedness and in affording field training to the Regular 
Army, National Guard and some college organizations belonging to the 
National Guard. 

The Mexican crisis passed in the Fall of 1916. Europe again became 
the point of interest. Germany, realizing our unpreparedness and imagining 
that we would never awake, became bolder, extending her submarine warfare 
and paying scant attention to numerous presidential notes. The sinking of 
the "Lusitania” on May 7, 1915, was the turning point. How could the 
United States avoid war with honor after that? The answer to the tragedy 


THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


181 


was another “note”, but righteous indignation throughout the country from 
this time on began to rapidly crystallize. On February 3, 1917, diplomatic 
relations with Germany were severed. And, on April the 6th, 1 9 1 7—April 
the month of the Battle of Lexington which precipitated the Revolution, 
the month of Sumpter which pitted North against South,—the United States 
declared war against Germany. 

Did we mobilize a million men overnight and rush them across the water 
the following day to stop the gruesome carnage? Thanks to the British Navy, 
the foe, then at the height of his power on land, was prevented from invading 
our shore at a time when we should have been almost powerless to resist. The 
United States—a Samson shorn of his locks—had contracted for a battle with 
a powerful giant, fit, and shall we say victorious? What was to be done? 

A tremendous army was needed. The assembling of a large number of 
men was not in itself the most difficult task; but once assembled, where was the 
material with which they were to train and where would be the officers to 
train them? The German nation appreciated this problem more than we our¬ 
selves. General Hindenburg stated when we entered the war that it was 
impossible for America to organize an army because of the lack of officers 
capable of operating in a battle area. Germany at the time treated our entry 
into the conflict as trivial, because she hoped to victoriously terminate the war 
before we could produce an effective military machine. 

But the lack of preparation in this country was due to ignorance—not to 
lack of patriotism. Once in the war the Nation was in it heart and soul. We 
had failed to prepare for the test, but it was still not too late. Teuton logic 
was scheduled for one of its premier jolts. 

While Congress was striving to thrash out the vexing question of how to 
raise an army, the War Department was authorized to launch at once its plan 
for laying the foundation for that army. Little did it matter at that time to the 
army officials as to whether recruits were to be secured by voluntary enlist¬ 
ment or draft. They knew that one million men were needed at the earliest 
possible moment and that before those men were called, there must be officers 
to train and lead them. 

The United States, for military purposes, was divided into sixteen sec¬ 
tions, each section containing approximately the same population, although 
obviously not an equal number of square miles. From each of these sections, 
the War Department was to pick 2,500 men—those apparently most prom¬ 
ising in mind and body of all applicants who volunteered—to take a course 
of training designed to prepare them to become officers. For these sixteen 
sections there were to be established, in appropriate sections of the country, 
fourteen training camps. Men from the first and second sections were to train 
at the same camp—Plattsburg. Men from the tenth and eleventh sections 
were also to train at a single camp—Fort Sheridan. This accounts for there 
being two less camps than sections. 

The declaration of war with Germany did not bring a simultaneous an¬ 
nouncement of this plan, although the War Department must have been con-

sidering it for many months, probably since the success of the first student 
training camps in 1913. Consequently, although thousands made up their 
minds to volunteer as soon as they had read the news on April 6th, a great 
majority hesitated to act at once, wishing to place what military experience 
they had, or their advanced or technical training, in that service which would 
be of greatest advantage to the country. Rumor (that word to be heard so 
much of later) had it that the War Department was very likely to adopt some 
such plan, and this resulted in hundreds of men scurrying about in a strenuous 
effort to verify the rumor. Men closed their desks and boarded trains for 
college towns, hoping that the army officers at their university might have 
some special information unobtainable at home. Members of National Guard 
organizations kept in constant touch with headquarters. Former training camp 
men phoned and wrote. Seniors laid down their books. 

The plan was at last announced early in April, 1917. Application blanks 
were to be obtained at any recruiting station or army office. What the pe¬ 
cuniary compensation was to be was not then known. To most of the men 
that did not matter. They knew there would be some compensation, but most 
of all they wanted to serve. 

Former training camps men and men from university organizations 
eagerly requested blanks. National Guardsmen applied for discharge in order 
that they might enter the camps. Undergraduates of universities—mostly 
seniors—sought admission. Hundreds of other university trained men and 
business men of no previous military experience requested the privilege of 
enlisting in the camps. It was like the first call for volunteers, yet Congress 
was still trying to decide what method to employ in raising the army of the 
United States. 

The following centers were selected for the establishment of the camps: 
Ft. Ogelthorpe, Ga.; Plattsburg, N. Y.; Des Moines, Iowa; Leon Springs, Tex.; 
Presidio, San Francisco, Calif.; Ft. Snelling, Minn.; Ft. Sheridan, Ill.; Camp 
Lee, Va.; Ft. Benj. Harrison, Indianapolis, Ind.; Ft. Riley, Kans.; Ft. Sill, 
Okla.; Ft. Monroe, Va., and Camp Johnson, Fla. 

Many of these stations—regular army posts—already were equipped 
with barracks suitable for the housing of the expected men. Others, however, 
had few if any barracks of a permanent sort. Illinois generously proffered the 
brick buildings at Fort Sheridan to the 2,500 who were coming from Wisconsin 
and Michigan. To the men of Illinois were assigned the fields south of these 
barracks—across the ravine. But the fields of May the first were not the fields 
of May tenth in Sheridan or any of the other permanently barrackless camps. 
Hammers rattled, saws hummed, wagons rumbled, men toiled. The evening 
of the tenth witnessed a village of sixty buildings on the west of the road, 
across the ravine and twenty-four more on the eastern side. Carpenters swept 
up the last of the shavings and sawdust within the glistening barracks while 
mammoth trench diggers gnawed noisily and deeply great ditches without. 

On May the first, applications for entrance closed. The next week was 
spent by the responsible officers in carefully selecting those who in their esti- 



184

mation were the most deserving of the hundreds of applicants. These many 
hundreds, during the same period, filled with uncertainty, anxiously awaited 
the fateful news. Candidates had been rated A, B, or C, according to age and 
the amount of previous military experience and education they had had. This 
system had its human weaknesses, but it seemed to bear considerable weight 
in the selection of the prospects. On May 1 Oth, the first momentous postal 
cards were received by some few hundred “A” men, requesting them to start 
at once for the Citizens Camp at Fort Sheridan. They were to bring the cards 
with them to present to the Camp Adjutant upon arrival. From then on to the 
15th, several hundred of these cards were mailed daily, thus virtually com¬ 
pleting the call of 5,000 men to Fort Sheridan and 40,000 to all the camps 
of the United States. 

Those early days of arrival before work really commenced on the 15 th 
were filled with many scenes of interest and action. Each train which stopped 
in front of that famous stone station with its antiquated brass cannon and 
caged cannon balls (one missing) poured forth from every step a stream of 
youth whose cheery faces and eager spirit augured the unfailing success of the 
future. Of course all were not cheery. Some faces were distinctly set with de¬ 
termination. But there were none downcast. 

From the station the newcomers streamed across the electric tracks, 
across the road and along the cinder path which cuts diagonally over a field

and leads past the guardhouse to the 
main brick barracks. Some wore over¬ 
coats; some had none. A few were in 
uniform—relics of the “Border” or old 
National Guard days. In the hands 
or on the shoulders of many there was 
baggage of every description from tel¬ 
escope suit cases to blanket rolls, and 
even some bundles done up in genuine 
old shelter halves. The yellow of brand 
new army shoes occasionally caught 
the eye. There was little levity as this 
stream crunched over the path. None 
knew definitely what was ahead, but the 
majority realized there would be work, 
and plenty of it. Then, too, all were not 
positively sure they were “in.” There 
were those wretched physical exams! 

THE TRENCH DIGGER IN ACTION , Fr ° m cin ders they echoed along 

the hard concrete in front of the tall 
barracks just past the drive which leads under the tower. Beside the door 
the first on the left of the tower—was a board sign which read, “Wallace 
B. Scales, Adjutant.” This was the goal of the postal card. The trainload 
formed in single file outside of this door, and each man searched for his 
precious “ticket.” A man would knock, step in, present his card as genteelly 
as possible “non modo belli”, receive instructions from the adjutant, awk¬ 
wardly face about and step out. His next goal was the drill hall. Here there 
were men sitting at tables—fellows who already had been commissioned in 
the reserve—who would enter his name in a book and again on a little card. 
On the card also was written the number of the company to which the man 
was assigned and the number of the barracks in which he should sleep. It 
happened that the company a man was assigned to was all a matter of chance. 
The companies were filled up in order, beginning with the number 1 and run¬ 
ning through 1 5 in the Illinois regiment; and beginning with A and ending with 
P in the Michigan-Wisconsin regiment, the letter J, as usual, being omitted. 

Upon finding out the number or letter of his company, the candidate next 
sought out the temporary headquarters of his organization, which headquarters 
were located somewhere in the permanent barracks. The room located, the 
candidate would find there usually two men—reserve officers assigned to the 
company to assist in its administration—who would have them register in a 
book and then would proceed to give instructions as to where to eat, sleep 
and secure a uniform and other immediately necessary equipment. The first 
object then sought by the newcomer was his bed. For those who arrived 
before the 1 2th, these were in the main barracks, for the Illinois as well as the 
Michigan and Wisconsin men, because the Illinois barracks were not fully 
complete. Up until the 1 5th all meals were served in the permanent barracks, 













186 THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


and those whose bunks were in the huts across the ravine marched three times 
daily back to receive their rations. 

Having secured a bed, the candidate s next move was to be fitted for a 
uniform. There was a room in the permanent barracks for this purpose. Two 
or three supply sergeants were there to measure and equip. Service hats, 
coats, breeches, canvas leggins, sox and shoes were available if a man could 
find a size that would fit him, but no hat cords. The training camp hat cords 
had not yet arrived and did not come in until several weeks later. Many men 
unable to get a fit in coat or breeches were forced to appear in part civilian 
attire for more than a week. No part of the uniform was of gratuitous issue. 
The value of the portions secured was deducted from the monthly compensa¬ 
tion. This compensation was later announced to be $100.00 a month. 

For those that arrived before the 15th there was little to do after perma¬ 
nent barracks had been located, and cots, mattresses and uniform secured. 
Time was consumed in hiking, policing, buying text books, perhaps taking out 
a little insurance, and visiting friends. 

On the 1 5th of May, training started in earnest under the direction of 
Colonel William J. Nicholson, Commandant of the Camp. Assisting Colonel 
Nicholson in instruction were Major H. LaT. Cavenaugh as senior instructor; 
Lieut.-Colonel James A. Ryan and Major James S. Parker; Lieut.-Colonel 
Ryan being in direct charge of the Michigan-Wisconsin group; Major Parker 
being responsibie for the Illinois men. The Michigan-Wisconsin camp was 
called the Tenth Provisional Training Regiment (abbreviated 10th P. 
T. R.”); and the Illinois section, the “11th P. T. R.“; the numbers being 
derived from the military section of the country from which candidates were 
chosen. Each of these regiments was made up of fifteen companies; each 
company, of between 160 and 1 70 men. The instructors placed in command 
of companies were Regular Army officers of the rank of either captain or 
first lieutenant. Assisting the company instructor were generally two reserve 
officers of the rank of captain, first or second lieutenant. 

There were three chaplains at the camp. Major E. J. Vattman, who was 
the dean of all Regular Army chaplains and had a record that went back to 
the Indian campaigns as well as a conspicuous record in Cuba, Porto Rico 
and the Philippines. With him were associated Chaplain Charles W. Gilkey 
and Chaplain Myron E. Adams, by appointment of the commanding officer. 

By most companies, the morning of the 15th was spent in organizing 
temporarily into squads and platoons, with men acting in the various posi¬ 
tions of non-commissioned officers and officers. The men were first arranged 
according to size, having the tallest man on the right of the line. Then men 
who had had some previous military experience were temporarily placed to 
act as non-coms and lieutenants. Some sort of organization having thus been 
accomplished the balance of the day’s work consisted of preliminary drill in 
the school of the soldier, physical exercise, lectures and hikes. Speedily the 
men progressed with their infantry drill until by the end of the first week they 
were marching and going through physical exercises with rifles.

“Late” civilians, accustomed to saun¬ 
tering up to a desk at the luxurious hour of 
9 or 1 0 A. M., welcomed not the cruel notes 
of “first call” at the uncomfortable stroke 
of 5:30—especially in chill barracks on a 
frosty May morn. To add to the misery, 
“reveille” was blown at 5:40 and “assem¬ 
bly” five minutes later. Those first few 
mornings some could “make it” only by 
omitting a portion of the apparel—gener¬ 
ally those two miserable pieces of canvass. 
But one such offense was enough. Follow¬ 
ing roll call the company would proceed to 
the nearest available open space and there, 
either by squads or as a whole, proceed 
to stimulate circulation and appetite with thirty minutes of vigorous 
calisthenics. 

“Soupy”—that call to which the expression “A. W. O. L.” is never ap¬ 
plied—was blown at 6:20, whereat the line, already eagerly formed again 
since dismissal from physical drill would “right face”, go “column left” and 
pound over the board floors of the mess shacks with a hungry viciousness 
which caused enameled dishes and tin spoons to leap in the air and rattle, 
seeking a voice to cry “route step” and thus “save the bridge.” The breakfast 
fare was a goodly one of some variety of canned fruits, cooked or “dry” 
cereal, eggs and bacon, and large slices of bread, the consumption of which 
was greatly enhanced by the presence of pitchers of molasses. There seemed 
to be a sufficient supply of “Pullman” cooks and waiters to cheerfully produce 
a never-ending stream of supplies. 

Any inclination to “linger over the cups” received an abrupt jolt at 
6:45. The company area must be “policed”, and this was the time set aside 
for the performance of that task. It was accomplished in each company by 
an avalanche of men who “vultured” everything north and south between 
two imaginary lines, from barrels to match sticks. If any scrap remained 
after the initial tour, it was the duty of 
the first sergeant to see that the perform¬ 
ance was repeated. 

Then came the assembly at seven 
o’clock. Here commenced the work of 
the day except for those who, either be¬ 
cause of enterprise or inability to prepare 
the night before, snatched a few moments 
for study between “first call” and assem¬ 
bly for drill. 

From May 15th until June 15th the 
training for the thirty companies of the 
two regiments was carried out along lines 
that would give the same type and amount

of training to all. The aim seemed to be to give all men an equal foundation 
in the rudiments of infantry drill and tactics, no matter what branch of the 
service they were striving eventually to enter. It was an excellent plan, espe¬ 
cially for those men who were destined to train the National Army. 

The day was full from 7 to 1 2 and from 1 to 4 with drill, lectures and 
hikes. The evening from 7:30 to 9:30 was devoted to study. 

Success in battle is the ultimate object of all military training; success 
may be looked for only when the training is intelligent and thorough.” The 
staff of instructors at Fort Sheridan—an exceedingly able and efficient group 
of officers—seemed to bear this opening paragraph of the Infantry Drill 
Regulations constantly in mind and endeavored to impress it indelibly upon 
the men, for the success of whom as future officers they were to be so largely 
responsible. Generalities, however true, meant nothing to them. A man 
must know his drill regulations precisely. The result was that many candi¬ 
dates were trained to the point of being able to give instructions to others in 
language as explicit and almost identical to that of the drill regulations. Work 
in the drill regulations the first month covered the School of the Soldier up 
through the School of the Battalion. Also definitions, orders, commands and 
signals. The men became skilled in the manual of arms, in sighting, sub¬ 
caliber practice, and in the use of the rifle in physical drill. The first principles 
of bayonet drill were established. The manual of guard duty was taken up 
and acquaintance made with “Sergeant Hill” in the “Studies in Minor Tactics.” 
The men learned how to roll their packs and to carry them full for hikes of 
several miles. They learned how to keep their quarters in an orderly manner, 
to care for their rifle, and to conduct a Saturday inspection. More than learn¬ 
ing to command, this first month, they learned the really first essential— 
to obey. 

An idea of the rapidity with which work commenced and some impres¬ 
sions of a candidate giving a glimpse of the early Camp days are given in a 
letter dated May 17, 1917: 

We are down to solid work now, and it seems as though life of any 
other sort were something of a very distant past. 

I surely was soft when this new life commenced, and am just be¬ 
ginning to experience the old time feelings of health driving out the 
results of confinement and smoke. 

It’s just as it was last summer—you see very little of anybody out¬ 
side of your own company. Of course it isn’t much fun not knowing 
many in the company,—makes it seem like the first few days of school or 
college—but we aren’t here for fun anyway. 

Every company has a regular captain in charge. We have a good 
instructor for our first platoon—a regular army sergeant, who has been 
drilling high school companies in the city. He holds a captain’s commis¬ 
sion in the reserve. 

We were issued new equipment today—cartridge belts, canteens, 
mess kits, haversacks, rifles and bayonets. All of the latest model and 


new.

Artillery knowledge of drill has been sufficient so far, but when 
work with the rifles commenses, there will be lots to learn. 


FRIDAY A. M. 

Had only a fair night last night, because I drew a cot without a mat¬ 
tress when we were shifted from barracks B to A. We bunk now accord¬ 
ing to squads. 

Have just been out drilling with a bunch with rifles, trying to learn 
the manual of arms. 

The food is great- 

There has been no confusion at all in handling this crowd of men. 
The experience of last summer must have taught them a good many 
lessons. 

There are a good many men of a deal of experience here—some 
have been in the Spanish War and Philippine Insurrection. One man 

named-is a past captain of Chicago police—large, deep voice 

and humorous. 

The majority seem to keep in good health. They are working up 
distances in the hikes gradually so that there are few sore feet. All are 
well-browned already. It will be a far more imposing crowd, though, 
when all get uniforms. There are still a great many without them. 

Have been in swimming twice. Water as cold as ice. So are the 
showers. No hot water at all. 

Heard of one company where an employer was a private under his 
office boy as sergeant. 

The newspapers run a column or so of "bull” every day which is 
pretty well colored up. You read them to find out what is going on 
in camp. 

Don’t worry about us. It’s a wonderfully healthy life. 

The drill of the day during the first month was over at 4 P. M., and at 
4:30 during the last two. The realization of the longed-for moment of parole 
to a long pent-up prisoner could hardly be more welcome than was the brassy 
blast of "recall” to the brain-fagged, dust-begrimed embryo officer. When a 
heavy-footed column swung scuffling along the road and finally turned down 
the proper company "street”, it was with much inward groaning that eyes 
lolled to the right trying to get the proper "dress" after the acting officer in 
charge had called "Squads right! Compan-e-e—!” And when the command 
of execution finally came there was a breathless silence lest there be some 
useless words before “dismissed!” Whoops of glee, sighs of relief and silence 
followed equally this magic word. Those still "peppy" ran for the wooden 
doors. Others aimed for the same goal, but time was of no import. Bathrobe 
or slicker, towel, soap and slippers were first in the minds of all. Then down 
the line of barracks they would stroll or run having these articles not merely 
in mind. That chilly month of May produced showers of equal hue. Needless

to say the time consumed thereunder was not immense. Milder weather 
brought milder showers. By July they were really hot. Some bothered not 
with indoor spraying. The open lake held more charm, so down the bluff they 
would romp, across the sand and into the chilly deep, a few, absent in mind, 
still with a wrist watch on. 

There is nothing like a chill lake for refreshment. This, combined with 
a day of open air and action, was responsible in part for the great canteen 
popularity. There were two such places of chocolate bars, crackers and “pop’’ 
—one in the permanent barracks and one in a little shack beside the bridge 
on the Illinois side of the ravine. Between 4:30 and 6, and even after supper, 
there were patrons massed there, buying. Of course, everybody was not 
there. Many indulged in indoor or outdoor baseball, while others amused 
themselves playing “Leap Frog” and “Duck on the Rock.” On July 9th a 
large throng was entertained by an exhibition ball game between the Sox and 
Athletics, in which the Sox were defeated, 5 to 1. 

Some few of the candidates whose homes were but a short distance from 
the Camp would occasionally hasten away to enjoy a home-cooked supper 
and rush back to be present at the 7:30 assembly for study. Such a treat was 
not open to all. Over the week-ends, however, there was more of a chance. 
Saturday mornings were devoted principally to policing, inspections and the 
making up of back work. At noon the day’s work ended. The War Depart¬ 
ment well realized that relaxation was an absolute necessity and that work 
at a high pitch could not continue with benefit even through the whole of Sat¬ 
urday. Rapid training was necessary, but not training to a point of complete 
exhaustion. 

The siding, leading from the main line of the “North-Western” to the 
quartermaster storehouses, had been extended to a point beyond the guard¬ 
house. This extension was appreciated in no small degree by the majority of 
those fortunate enough to secure passes over the much anticipated week-end, 
for when bedlam broke loose at 1 2 o’clock there was always a lengthy line of 
yellow coaches on this recent extension, waiting to swallow up the seekers of 
diversion from the military. 

Many of the men had homes to go to. The families of others lived too 
far away to make a week-end trip possible. It was for the sake of these latter 
that many families of Lake Forest, Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, Ken¬ 
ilworth, Evanston and Lake Bluff offered the hospitality of their homes. It 
meant a great deal to the men to be so generously entertained. These people 
of the nearby towns who were so kind will have the everlasting gratitude of 
the men who, in their own misfortune, were fortunate enough to have been 
the recipients of this hospitality. 

Recreation and entertainment were by no means entirely of an impromptu 
nature, nor was the planning for them left wholly in the hands of the candi¬ 
dates. The men themselves were responsible for a great deal of the fun and 
sport, but the general direction of organized sports, planned entertainment

and studies other than military, was under the supervision of that organization 
which had men on its staff whose time was devoted entirely to encouraging 
those activities which would be of greatest all around benefit to the men—the 

Y. M. C. A. 

Just as the Y. M. C. A. moved with the troops to the Border in 1 9 1 6, so 
did one of its huts grow up together with the quarters of the men at Fort 
Sheridan. The building consisted of a lecture and entertainment hall large 
enough to seat over 500 people; library, game and music rooms (also used 
as committee rooms), five small study rooms, writing tables to accommodate 
over one hundred men at a time, moving picture booth, and rooms for five 
secretaries. Mr. G. M. Martin, General Secretary, was in charge. Associated 
with him were Chaplains Charles W. Gilkey and Myron E. Adams, in charge 
of religious and educational activities; Mr. E. C. Stevens, director of social 
activities; Mr. H. B. Miller (later appointed Camp Athletic Officer by Colonel 
Nicholson), in charge of physical and recreative activities, and Mr. J. H. 
Nudkiff. 

Some such a center as that afforded by the Y. M. C. A. in a training 
camp is more than a luxury. It is a necessity. And all members of the camps 
at Sheridan will agree that, thanks to the able secretaries working there, the 
need at the Fort was admirably filled. Fourteen classes in French were organ¬ 
ized out of the “Young College” of 400 who applied for the course. Each 
company had its athletic officer, and inter-company ball games were accord¬ 
ingly arranged. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening band concerts were 
given. There were amateur theatricals, movies, or both, once a week. On 
Sundays services were held where could be heard such interesting men as 
Chaplain Gilkey, Chaplain Adams, Dr. John Timothy Stone and Dean Shailer 
Matthews. Among other speakers heard during the week were Julius Rosen- 
wald, President Harry Pratt Judson, Dr. W. A. Evans, Homer Rodeheaver, 
Major Koehler and Colonel Nicholson. The “Y” was ever open and ready 
to serve the men of the Camp. Many who for the first time at Fort Sheridan 
became acquainted with the work which it was striving to do became and 
remained its staunch friends ever after. 

There were others, too, in the Camp whose main purpose was to serve. 
These were the Boy Scouts who reported for duty during the opening days of 
the Camp. They acted as guides to bewildered recruits. They served long 
tedious hours as orderlies. They performed innumerable odd tasks and 
errands for instructors and students who had little time for details. And last 
but not least, they acted as carriers and distributors for that most-looked- 
forward-to treat of the day—the mail. It is hardly necessary to say that 
during the early days especially their services were well nigh indispensable. 

Physical examinations—most dread of all things to the man who was 
eager to get into the fray—commenced their threatening grind the last week 
of the first month of training. Every man was supposed to have had an exam¬ 
ination of some sort before filing his application for admission, but many of 
these examinations had not been thorough and were of course conducted by

a great number of physicians not schooled in some of the peculiar military 
technicalities. At a certain scheduled hour, a company would be marched 
over to the old hospital on the north side of the ravine. The men would form 
a single file outside and by jumps of about ten at a time, gradually become 
assimilated through the front entrance. Long before the last of the men had 
gone in, the first were coming out from some side door, left sleeves rolled to 
the shoulder and upper arms feeling strangely queer but showing nothing 
except occasionally a tiny crimson drop. If the stories of these aching-armed 
jolliers could be believed, Dante himself was within personally conducting a 
tour through those regions which he has so well pictured for us. The low- 
spirited remainder knew not whether to laugh it off or become more con¬ 
cerned. The usual result was a forced grin and absolute petrification. 

On Thursday, June 1 4th, one month after the commencement of training, 
appeared the first copy of “The Ft. Sheridan Reveille”, the paper which, after 
the issue of Thursday, June 21st, was to be published every Friday until 
training at Fort Sheridan ceased to be. It was a paper gotten up to keep 
the men informed as to what had gone on, what was going on, and what 
was to go on in camp and in the military world. It also aimed to cheer with 
a fund of fun. The editors consisted of E. B. Lockwood, managing editor; 
R. F. Rolfe, advertising manager, and Lew Merrill, artist and correspondent. 
There were eight good pages of reading matter, cartoons and advertisements. 



SPECIAL FREIGHT SERVICE

THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 



NEW ONES ON “THE DOUBLE” 


In addition to important news articles and “Latest Bulletins”, a sketch, usually 
of a prominent officer of the camp, occupied the front page. A “Y. M. C. A. 
Column”, “R. O. T. C. Notes”, poems and jingles, bits of news and cartoons, 
with “ads”, sprinkled in, filled the other seven. The paper was a great 
success. 

The first column of the first page of the first “Reveille” tells an interesting 
story: 

This is the fifth week at the Reserve Officers’ Training Camp—five 
weeks of downright, hard work. The results are wholly satisfactory to 
both the men and the instructors. 

The rapidity with which the rudiments of military training have been 
grasped by men who have heretofore had no experience in that line is one 
of the remarkable features of the first five weeks. 

In spite of a lot of wild rumors to the effect that the final physical 
tests would result in wholesale rejections, quite the contrary is true. The 
men are showing up well in these final tests and it now appears that the 
rejections from the physical standpoint will be very few. The grind in 
getting into trim has been very hard, and the work incident to this task, 
added to the tense uncertainty about the final outcome of the tests, has 
placed a severe strain upon the men. That they are coming out well 
even under this strain shows that when they get into full swing Uncle Sam 
will have no occasion to worry about the conduct of his new officers under 
the trying conditions soon to confront them. 








THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


197 


The willingness and eager¬ 
ness of the men to learn is another 
feature of the Camp. It is grim 
business for which they are pre¬ 
paring, and they are going about 
their preparations for the firing 
line with a grimness that bodes ill 
for the adversary. 

Up to this time the general 
rudiments of the training have 
been along practically the same 
lines. Beginning next week it is 
generally understood that a gen¬ 
eral shake-up will occur and that 
from then on the branches of the 
service will divide. Those who 
are assigned to Cavalry service 
will then be given special instruc¬ 
tion along that line. The Artillery 
men will proceed to points desig¬ 
nated by the Government for spe¬ 
cial instruction in their branch, 
while the Infantry men will be in¬ 
structed in trench fighting, snip¬ 
ing, etc. It is generally understood that the engineers will be transferred 
to points where they can continue their preparatory work with the full 
use of engineering equipment. 

The tabulation of reports from company instructors showing the 
choice made by every man in Camp as to the arm he would like to enter 
was completed, and the task of grouping them in accordance with orders 
of the War Department was begun. These orders provide that there 
shall be nine companies of infantry, three batteries of field artillery and 
one troop of cavalry to each of the two provisional regiments—one made 
up of Illinois and the other of Michigan and Wisconsin men. In addition, 
each regiment already has its company of engineers. 

But one part of the redistribution jumped ahead of the others. 
One hundred out of 254 men who chose to try for commissions in the 
Coast Artillery were set aside as the group for this branch and ordered to 
prepare to leave for a seaboard point where they can be given training 
with the big guns. Fifty of these men come from each regiment. 

The tabulation of the choices made by the candidates shows that 
both the Field Artillery and the Cavalry were “over-subscribed.” The 
excess probably will be used in infantry.

The above prophecy for the most part came true with the exception that 
the artillery men did not make a change of station for their training. Although 
the number of men failing to pass the physical tests was not in excess 
of three per cent, still every company lost from three to five men. This 
was the first transfer to take place and it served to impress the seriousness of 
the situation more than ever on the men who survived it. This iron hand 
of rigid rules which plucked men away because of various physical handicaps, 
seemed unnecessarily severe, yet it had to be. Some of the most promising 
candidates were thus mercilessly forced out of the running. Eyes were the 
cause in many cases. It was a sorrowful day for the remaining comrades when 
these plucky fellows had to pack up and leave. And the men themselves 
must have felt even worse, although they bore it all with a smile. If one should 
follow the future actions of these men he would find that the great majority 
immediately redoubled their efforts to enter some branch of the service where 
their slight ailments would be of no hindrance. Some even went to Canada 
to enlist in order to give their services to the common cause. 

On Saturday, June 1 6th, reorganization took place in preparation for the 
work of specialization. The Engineers, members of old Company E of the 
Michigan-Wisconsin Regiment and old Company 1 of the Illinois Camp, 
had left the latter part of the week for the Army Service Schools at Fort 
Leavenworth, Kans. Their quarters were to be used for administration pur-

poses. The newly-formed companies, batteries and troops, with their newly- 
appointed instructors, were assigned to the old barracks, as follows:

1 4—Ninth Company, Captain Trott. 

15—Tenth Company, Captain Byars. 


The afternoon of the 1 6th was one of great activity. A change of quar¬ 
ters was necessary for practically every man. He first must locate his new 
barracks, then a cot. The cot, of coqrse, he preferred to have near a former 
friend, but this was not always possible. Friends of the first month were 
separated, but new bunks in new companies were to lay the foundation for 
new friendships. The moving of personal possessions did not take long after 
a cot had been located. In fact, the entire transformation was accomplished 
with a surprising lack of confusion. By Saturday evening the majority were 
ready for the new tasks of Monday, and week-end passes were enjoyed 
as usual. 


On Monday, June 18th, at 7 A. M., the newly-formed companies, bat¬ 
teries and troops assembled, were temporarily organized into platoons and

squads, and entered upon the work of specialization with an enthusiasm seem¬ 
ingly increased by the vision of a definite goal. 

On the following day a communication was published in the newspapers 
of the country, giving notice of the standard demanded of the future officers, 
signed by Adjutant General McCain. The edict follows: 

It is time to correct erroneous impressions. The best qualified of 
all reserve officers and candidates will be selected to become officers of 
the regiment which the training company represents. The object is to 
appoint from each company troop and battery men in such numbers and 
grades as to complete the quota of officers needed for each regiment 
after officers of the regular army have been provided. The total number 
selected and the number in each grade will therefore depend upon the 
regular army contingent appointed to each regiment. While the age 
limits prevent the appointment of older men to lower grades, they do 
not prevent the appointment of younger men to higher grades—thus, a 
man of 30 may be a captain or a major. 

Appointments to Be Speeded 

Those qualified to be reserve officers at the end of the training 
period, but not selected as indicated above, will be appointed officers 
at once and continued in service for the duration of the war, subject, of 
course, to elimination for misconduct, etc., or to relief from active duty 
as the result of a material and unforeseen change in the military situation. 

Those classified under the paragraph should be such as are com¬ 
petent to serve as additional officers of the prospective regiment during 
its organization period and should be the kind of men who are able to 
assist in organizing and training the new regiment, to assist in teaching 
inexperienced and non-commissioned officers their special duties. 











202 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


They should be the kind of men that can be counted upon as good 
officers for troops to be organized later when they have had the advan¬ 
tage of their experience with the half million in its formation period. Or 
they should be good temporary officers in the regular army. They will 
be recommended for appointment as second lieutenant if under 3 1 years 
and 6 months of age; otherwise, as first lieutenant. The number will, 
of course, vary. It is more a matter of enforcing a high standard than 
appointing a large number. 

Quality to Be First Aim 

It should be borne in mind that other camps will follow if the war 
continues. An excellent man with three months’ training is much supe¬ 
rior to a weak man with a year’s training; hence, it is better to rely on 
the excellent men of the next camp than to rely on weak men, no matter 
how much time they have devoted to training. 

Men who have definite promise of being competent officers, assum¬ 
ing additional training, will be encouraged to enter the next camp. It 
is expected that the number of these men will be quite small and will 
include only young men of most exceptional merit and natural ability 
who have had no military experience prior to the opening of these camps. 
No reserve officer of enlisted men of the regular army or national guard 
will be included in this class. 

Sifting Process Described 

All others, being those who have merely survived the training 
period without having demonstrated affirmatively that they possess the 
fitness and efficiency necessary in an officer, will be discharged with 
the expiration of enlistment. Reserve officers in this class will be recom¬ 
mended for discharge. 

Enlisted men of the Regular Army and National Guard will be 
ordered to their respective regiments. Men of indifferent promise will 
not be compelled to remain in training. 

Cognizance must be taken of the fact that the men of the National 
Army will be between 2 1 and 3 1 years and of every gradation of intelli¬ 
gence and standing. Immature, weak-looking or unpresentable officers 
are absolutely out of the question. The requisite is military efficiency. 
It is emphasized that military efficiency implies ability to lead. 

The men were hungry for any authoritative information from Washington 
which might indicate the plans and prospects of the future. Such an announce¬ 
ment as that of General McCain served to furnish an idea of what was expected 
of candidates and what the rewards of their efforts would be. 

This second and final period of training commenced and continued with 
an intensity even greater than that of the first. The preliminary training of 
an all-around nature had been completed. Energy was now diverted towards 
the work of specialization, although there were several subjects which of 
necessity were continued and taken up anew, alike by all. 

Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry continued the “Studies in Minor Tactics” 
for a period of four weeks more. 

A new study of importance to be taken up simultaneously by the three 
arms was that of mapping. The subject was carefully explained by the in-

structors, text-books entitled “Notes on Sketching and Notes on Contour¬ 
ing” were distributed, and preliminary studies commenced. The first week 
of study on this subject was devoted to becoming familiar with the contents 
of the two text-books. The next week position sketches were made, contour¬ 
ing practiced, and road sketches drawn, three inches to one mile. Before 
making the road sketches it was necessary to become acquainted with the 
mysterious “alidade.” Drawing boards, too, were purchased or fashioned. 
To establish accuracy in one’s “alidade, a man had to determine his pace 
scale Stakes were placed 100 yards apart and men strode from one stake 
to the next, intently counting, in an endeavor to find their average number 
of strides. 

Following the road sketch, a map of a certain portion of the camp area 
was.recjuired. This, of course, was the hardest work of all, for it required 
the accurate locating of roads, buildings and contours. Mappers worked in 
pairs. A board on a tripod, a sketch on the board and an alidade on the 
sketch, with a man squinting carefully along the alidade, was a common sight 
during mapping week. Tripods, however, were not plentiful. The partner s 

back or a handy post or 
rock generally served 
the purpose. The area 
sketch was the last re¬ 
quired of all but the ar¬ 
tillery men. It was nec¬ 
essary for them to go 
further into the making 
of “panoramic 
sketches.” 

There were two 
other s u b j e c t s, not 
touched upon in the 
first period, which were 
introduced during the 
second “term” in every 
company, battery and 
troop—the study of the 
“Manual for Courts- 
Martial” and “U. S. 
Army Regulations.” 
To the lawyers, and 
there were a good 
many present, the ver¬ 
biage of the former was 
in no minor way pleas¬ 
ing. Instructors of some 
of the outfits were even 
known to entrust the 
teaching of this military

penal code to habitues 
of the traditionally hos¬ 
tile civil courts. Nev¬ 
ertheless, the military 
instructor was generally 
present during such 
classes, in order that 
there might be no ques¬ 
tion as to the proper 
interpretation of the 
army text. The term 
“Military Jurisdiction," 
found at the top of the 
first page of Chapter 1, 
glared staggeringly at 
the candidate of a non- 
legal turn of mind. He 
wondered if he ever 
would be able to mas¬ 
ter the strange sound¬ 
ing words and phrases 
which followed. After 
a few days’ study, how¬ 
ever, he found that the 
explanations were not 
so terribly vague after 
all. He learned the 
sources and kinds of 
military jurisdiction and 
the tribunals through 

which this jurisdiction should be exercised. Of most interest to him among 
these tribunals were the summary, special and general courts. He found out 
the distinction between these three “courts-martial”—who had power to 
appoint members, those persons and offenses over which each court had 
jurisdiction, the method of procedure, organization, right to witnesses and 
depositions, rules of evidence, concluding incidents of the trial, punishments, 
records of trial, and final action to be taken by the appointing or superior 
authority. 


JUDGE LANDIS REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE 


After a knowledge of the courts and their powers had been gained, the 
important Aritcles of War, especially the “punitive," 54th to 96th, inclusive, 
were studied in detail. The 1 1 0th warned of certain vital articles which must 
be read and explained to every soldier at the time of his enlistment and every 
six months thereafter. If this warning were adhered to, a military offender 
could never say, “I did not know.” A casual reading of the last of the “puni¬ 
tive articles” would almost lead a prospective member of a court to think, 
“Why all the other articles? When in doubt apply the 96th!“ 

The study of the “Manual” revealed the iron hand of power which might 







206 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


be called upon to enforce discipline, but there was no portion of the law 
which, if delegated to the judgment of fair and conscientious officers, would 
be considered unjust. In truth, the candidates learned that sentences in the 
majority of cases, meted out by military courts-martial, savored more of justice 
than those awarded by the helter-skelter twelve of the civil courts, who, at 
times, unfortunately, are swayed by sentimentality. 

Knowledge gained from the “Manual’’ was visualized during the latter 
days of study through the appointment, by the instructors, of courts, culprits 
and counsel. Trials were carried through from start to finish. Thus did a 
few test the military legal machinery, while the rest stood by to criticize 
and learn. 

Study of the “U. S. Army Regulations’’ revealed a vast field of military 
customs and rules, knowledge of a large portion of which must be gained by 
a candidate in order that he might become a successful officer. There was 
not time to study the contents of the entire volume. Only the most important 
“paragraphs’’ were assigned. These must be mastered. Information con¬ 
tained in those unassigned would have to be looked up when occasion de¬ 
manded. The subjects covered in “Army Regulations” are vast and diverse 
—from courtesies to arrest and confinement, from the Adjutant General’s 
Department to the Indians, from Money Accountability to Post Gardens. 

There was great excitement in Camp on Monday, July 9th, for on that 
day Col. Henry J. Reilly, with the old First Illinois Field Artillery, recently 
named the 149th, arrived at the Fort. The camping ground in the woods 
south of the barracks was none too choice, but with the aid of sand and gravel 
the men made habitable the soggy, swampy ground. The coming of this 
regiment was of particular interest to many of the men at the Training Camp, 
for the summer before they themselves had been members of one or another 
of its batteries. It was of vital interest to all of the men taking artillery train¬ 
ing, because the guns and horses of the 1 49th were to be the ones with which 
they should train. It was of general interest to all in Camp because this was 
a regiment which was shaping itself for service overseas, and before long 
would be there. The regiment stirred not only the interest of all, but likewise 
the envy—it would soon be at the front! 

Equilibrium must not be upset by such immediate prospects of action as 
this. The candidate’s greatest opportunity for service, whether here or over¬ 
seas, lay in doing well the task which lay ahead, no matter how distant the 
goal might seem. 

Besides “Studies in Minor Tactics,” “Mapping,” “Manual for Courts- 
Martial” and “U. S. Army Regulations,” all outfits continued physical drill 
(except some of the batteries, the instructors of which, because pressed for 
time to cover the work required, unfortunately seemed to believe that calis¬ 
thenics might well be omitted). Semaphore work, to a certain extent, was 
likewise carried on, and the art of tent-pitching undertaken. 

All other training taken up by the infantry, artillery and cavalary was 
of marked dissimilarity. The infantry commenced upon work with the rifle

and also continued into the most advanced stages of drill. Before undertaking 
the perfection of the former, however, they first, with the assistance of the 
Ohio engineers, laid out and constructed trenches and fortifications of the most 
modern type, patterned to conform with the latest advices from Europe. It 
was strenuous work for hands and backs, but the finished network of trenches 
—advance, support, reserve and communicating, with outposts and dugouts 
appropriately placed, was a notable reward for all the trying exertion. 

For work with the rifle, the infantry went north to the range and there, 
not only fired, but practiced the estimating of distances and use of the range¬ 
finder. 

Practical work on the range was supplemented by the study of battle 
fire training” and "Rules of Land Warfare. Lectures by the instructors on 
American methods of warfare, continuing into the present day methods of 
foreign armies, served to establish a comprehensive understanding of the 
subject in the mind of the candidate. 

Special machine gun instruction was given by Capt. James D. Melville, 
of the First Illinois Infantry. 

There was additional practical training in road and field work. One 
company, representing a battalion, regiment, or perhaps merely a company, 
would go out to oppose another company, representing an equal body of men. 
To distinguish one side from the other, the members of one of the forces 
would wear white handkerchiefs around their hats or left arms, while the 
other side wore no distinguishing mark. Points, Advance Parties, Supports, 
Reserves and Main Bodies would be properly instructed, and after one side had 
set off for parts unknown, the other unit, a reasonable length of time having 
elapsed, would set out to find the enemy and strive to effect its capture. There 
was much exciting scout work, heated clashes, rifle snappings, and battles 
strenuously fought, with victory claimed by both participating sides. 

The spectacular culmination of the battle training took place in and 
opposing the labyrinth of trenches, when all was dark and those not fighting 
were endeavoring to study and slumber. The first shot was fired one night at 
about nine. A sentry in a forward observation post had seen a dim figure mov¬ 
ing in a mist south across the ravine. He fired. The shot snapped every rifle¬ 
man to attention. Nerves, formerly quivering, fairly hummed. Eyes strained. 
An indefinite line of figures rose in the mist. Five rifles cracked. The line 
abruptly faded. An officer in the trenches whispered a command—Swish! 
High in a tall tree a flare burst into dazzling light. The line in the field, for¬ 
merly indefinite, loomed as an extensive force of prone forms. Behind lay 
another. The first was 200 yards away. The attackers hugged the ground in 
agony at the exposure of the brightness. The light quivered. Up sprang the 
rear line, rushing forward. Trenches crackled with fire. Down sank the 
moving forms. The first line, now behind, sprang up, advancing. A new flare 
in another tree dazzled field and sky. Trench rifles volleyed. The new for¬ 
ward attacking line flopped to the ground and opened up with rapid flashes. 
Crouching figures ran haltingly back and forth along the line. Firing from 




THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


both sides became intense. The attacking lines drew nearer. They were in 
the ravine. In the wire! Rifles spoke in humming roar. They were past the 
outposts. In the first line! In the—A bugle blew. The waxen warfare 
ceased. Grimy, muddy and dusty warriors excitedly grouped together and 
straggled home. One hundred verbal volleys throughout the night failed to 
decide which had won the honors—Reds or Blues. 


In drill the infantry continued beyond the “School of the Battalion” 
into the study of the Regiment.” They also went on with vigorous extended 
and close order drill to perfect and enlarge upon the preliminary work of the 
first month. 


Bayonet work was an important branch of infantry specialization which 
was brought to a point of perfection in all the companies. Some candidates, 
who had seen service overseas, assisted in this work through lectures and the 
personal leading of drills. The finer points of the art of bayonet fighting were 
taught on the field north of the trenches, where wire entanglements were 
placed to baffle, and brushwood dummies to resist, the attacks and thrusts of 
eager destroyers. 

The second week of July found in Camp a man destined to fill the infan¬ 
try with a thorough appreciation of “accuracy, precision and smack.” Major 
Herman J. Koehler, for 31 years principal physical director and instructor 
of military gymnastics at West Point, had arrived. For two weeks he snapped 
various companies (and one or two representatives from each battery and 
troop) through vigorous physical exercises and bayonet drill. His remarks 
on the Field Physical Training of the Soldier , as voiced in a syllabus pre¬ 
pared for the War Department, were exceedingly valuable and to the point: 



THE “REDS” AGIN THE “BLUES” 











210 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


1. Efficiency of Military Establishments. —That the efficiency of a 
military establishment is in a direct ratio to the physical fitness of its in¬ 
dividual units has never before been demonstrated so forcibly as it has 
been during the present war. 

The demands made upon those engaged in this conflict are so far in 
excess of what was thought to be the limit of human endurance, judged 
by a before-the-war standard, that it is almost impossible to conjecture 
even what that limit really is. 

2. Demand of Modern Warfare. —While modern warfare has not 
hesitated to impress almost every known science into its service for the 
purpose of overcoming man, the trained man has up to the present time 
demonstrated his ability to hold his own against the most terrible odds 
successfully; and in the end it will be discovered that it is the man, the 
carefully trained and conditioned man, who alone can make victory 
possible. 

3. Necessity for Physical Training. —With these facts before us it 
follows logically that the physical training development, and conditioning 
of those recruited for military service must be the first and most impor¬ 
tant concern of a nation at war. 

4. Objects Sought by This Course. —The object, therefore, that a 
course in physical training for recruits must aim to attain, is the develop¬ 
ment of every individual physical attributes to the fullest extent of their 
possibilities, so that he may enter upon the duties his profession imposes 
with the utmost confidence in his ability to discharge them successfully 
under any and all circumstances. 

5. What Course Must Embrace. —In order to accomplish this 
object the course must embrace those means that will develop: 

(a) General health and organic vigor. 

(b) Muscular and nervous strength, endurance and fortitude. 

(c) Self-reliance and confidence. 

(d) Smartness, activity, alertness, and precision. 

6. As the extent of the development of all the physical attributes 
is determined by health and vigor, these must be considered the basis of 
all physical training. 

7. The possession of robust health and organic vigor is not, how¬ 
ever, sufficient for the field soldier; his profession requires that he also 
possess more than the average amount of muscular and nervous strength, 
endurance and fortitude, against which he may draw in times of stress. 

8. With robust health and organic vigor as a basis, and with the 
knowledge that he possesses an unusual amount of muscular and nervous 
strength, he must be taught how to preserve the former and how to use 
the latter to the best advantage. By learning to do this he will unwit¬ 
tingly develop self-reliance and confidence, which are, after all, physical 
qualities, since they give to him the courage to dare because of the con¬ 
sciousness of the ability to do. 

9. Smartness, activity, alertness, and precision are all physical ex¬ 
pressions of mental activity, and as such are the powers that guide and 
control the physical forces to the best advantage. They also make for 
personal pride and self-respect and discipline, the voluntary, intelligent, 
co-ordinated, and equal subordination of every individual unit, through 
which alone the objects of the mass can be achieved.

What Major Koehler said to a member of the “Reveille” staff concerning 
Fort Sheridan and other camps is also worthy of note: 

“In my opinion, the camp measures up to all the others I have visited 
in every respect, and the material found at all the training camps gives us 
the assurance that we can count on a large number of capable and con¬ 
scientious officers who need only experience to qualify them for the seri¬ 
ous profession for which they are training. 

“There is so much splendid material to draw from that it must be a 
difficult matter for the authorities to determine, not whom they shall 
select, but whom they shall drop. It has been my experience that, in the 
beginning, there were a number of men who were of the opinion that the 
training was to be of the ‘fuss and feathers’ variety. It is needless to say 
that these young men are no longer to be found in any of the camps.” 

When the time came for Major Koehler to leave Fort Sheridan and pro¬ 
ceed to some other officers’ training camp, further west, every man, however 
weary as a result of the Major’s astounding driving power, was loathe to see 
him depart. 

The influence of such a leader was to have a great effect on the future 
armies of the United States. All his time could not be devoted to one group 
of men. He must press on to make every moment count—an equal period for 
every 2000 men—and by August 1 5th a spirit of vigor created among 30,000 
that would help to make of the coming National Army a fearless multitude 
of well-nigh perfect men whose work towards furthering the righteous cause at 
stake could not help but be tremendous. 

From Major Koehler and the infantry—those men who, with 20 out of 
the 28 organizations of the Camp, comprised far more than half of the attend¬ 
ing candidates—let us turn to that smaller group which filled but six of the 
28—the artillery. The artillerymen, as is always the case in countries of un¬ 
preparedness, commenced training under a serious handicap. For three weeks 
after the Camp reorganization their work was greatly retarded because of lack 
of proper equipment. They went ahead with those subjects which were 
studied alike by all of the organizations, and they had for study copies of 
“Drill and Service Regulations for Field Artillery” (at least, each squad had 
a copy and some individuals who owned their own), but guns and horses were 
sadly lacking. There were but four 3-inch guns with caissons and limbers 
available for the instruction of the six batteries of the Camp. They were the 
ones which belonged to Battery “C” of the First Illinois Field Artillery and 
fortunately had been kept at the Fort since the mustering out of that organiza¬ 
tion the preceding Fall. Instruction in nomenclature and use went on in spite 
of the handicap. Each training battery, during these three weeks of gun 
famine, had one hour a day to be spent in the presence of the four valuable 
pieces. 

During the first week Captain Morley of the Michigan-Wisconsin camp 
and Captain Osborne of the Illinois, instructed each battery of their respective 
regiments at the guns. They talked on the subject of artillery in general, and 
of different types of American field guns of past and present use. They ex¬ 
plained in detail the American 3-inch gun, pointing out and naming every 



THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


213 


visible part. Many invisible parts, as of the breech block, were brought to 
view by an assistant to help in clarifying the explanation. The dismounting 
of the gun was explained and also such weird sounding terms as angle of site 
mil and corrector. The circle of eager listeners strained eyes and ears in an 
effort to catch every word. Queer names were scrawled in notebooks. At the 
end of the lecture heads whirled like a rotating band blown through a rifled 
tube. 

The next two weeks each instructor went with his own battery at the 
allotted hour and, with the assistance of a few men of previous experience, 
continued in familiarizing the men with the nomenclature of all parts of the 
materiel pieces, caissons and limbers—and took up preliminary work in 
gun drill. 

The arrival of the entire First Illinois Field Artillery with more 3-inch 
guns, relieved the situation tremendously. There was then equipment enough 
so that each of the four platoons of a battery could have separate periods at 
the guns every day. Cannoneer drill was practiced, then drill of the gun 
squad. The work culminated in the training of entire firing batteries, com¬ 
mands being given by executives and data set off and carried into effect at 
the guns. 

An hour and a half a day was spent in lectures and conferences on the 
“Drill Regulations.” Special attention was paid to Volume III, which was 
devoted to instruction in firing. The objects of this instruction as given in the 
“Regulations” are: 

1. To train the personnel in the mechanism of the methods of fire 
so that, at the word of command, fire of the desired nature may be de¬ 
livered with certainty and celerity. (Fire discipline.)

2. To train officers and their assistants so that they may utilize the 

weapons at their disposal to the best advantage. (Conduct of fire.) 

Problems involving the use of the parallax and parallel methods of com¬ 
puting fire data and formulas for figuring the site and crest problems gave 
many men a preliminary taste of the intricacies of the work ahead. To the 
man with a limited training in mathematics the subject seemed almost impos¬ 
sible. To many others more highly schooled it seemed the same. But it would 
take more than seeming impossibility to down the spirits of these eager can¬ 
didates. By diligent study and working together—those of some experience 
helping those who were new—all strove and hoped to finish the course with 
success. 

Practice in semaphore was given up for work with the “buzzer.” In¬ 
structors asked for any men who had a knowledge of wireless or the “Morse 
code” to volunteer their services in helping to teach the other men the use 
of these strange little instruments. From six to eight of the volunteers from 
each battery were chosen to teach sections of their respective batteries. Each 
section was “issued” a “buzzer.” The instructor first showed the proper 
method of holding the key and then explained and gave out the mysterious 
Morse alphabet of dashes and dots. “Operators” for the most part caught on 
quickly and by the end of the period of training were able to send and receive 
at the rate of eight to ten words a minute. 

Automatic pistols were issued to the batteries and work commenced at 
once in learning the nomenclature of the parts and the method of strip¬ 
ping and assembling the weapon. Then came aiming drill or “making tri¬ 
angles”, which was conducted with a pistol in the same manner as with a rifle. 




216 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


Each squad had a chest high tripod which supported a bag of sand. A pistol 
pointing toward a barrack wall was firmly set in the sandbag, the tripod being 
fifteen to twenty feet away from the wall. A man with a little black cardboard 
bull s eye (about an inch in diameter) fastened to a stick would stand close 
to the wall and hold the bull’s eye over a sheet of paper somewhere in the 
vicinity of the range of vision of another man who glanced along the sights of 
the pistol. At the verbal command or hand signal of the man aiming, the tnan 
by the wall would move the bull’s eye up or down, right or left, until the aimer 
called stop! He would then, through a pinhole in the center of the bull’s 
eye, mark a little dot on the paper with a sharp pointed pencil. The man at 
the pistol would aim three times. Seldom did one dot coincide with another. 
But they were not meant to. The object was to get three dots very close to¬ 
gether and equidistant, so that when lines were drawn connecting the points, 
the result would be a minute equilateral triangle. A man who could accom¬ 
plish that, proved himself a skillful aimer. 

After demolishing the barracks with triangular broadsides the marksmen 
ventured onto the range and there were shown how to hold the weapon and 
the proper posture to take in firing. Six to eight targets were used, behind and 
beneath which men were stationed to point out with long markers the spot 
where a bullet hit, and then to lower the target and paste over the holes so as 
to be able to distinguish the perforations of the succeeding marksmen. These 
men who fired stood in single file facing the target, a line of equal length for 
each target. Men who had fired helped load clips for those who had not. 
Each man fired once at fifteen yards and again at twenty-five, five shots each 
time. After that firing was continued at twenty-five yards by men in turn until 



THE ARTILLERY WAS THERE 





THE FIRST OFFICERS* TRAINING CAMP

“STEADY, BOYS!" 


the period ended. To those who had not fired before, at least with an auto¬ 
matic, the sensation was strange, and a good many shots ploughed the ground. 
Some of the men made very high scores. It was most unfortunate that each 
battery had an opportunity to fire on the range but once. 

For training with horses as well as with guns, the Fort artillerymen were 
indebted to the 149th Field Artillery. Each of the six training batteries 
were assigned the horses and harness of one of the batteries of that regiment 
for training purposes. The men first learned how to feed and care for a horse 
and how to groom him. They studied his terminology and learned through 
lectures his common diseases and the proper treatment for them. Instruction 
was next given on the care and cleaning of harness, then in saddling. Equita¬ 
tion followed, and the struggle to create horsemen out of every man, no 
matter how awkward his initial attempt on the back of a four-footed equine 
might be. Round and round the corrals lines of horses would go, first at a 
walk, then at a trot; instructors and candidate assistants constantly calling 
attention to fallacies of reins, arms, legs or heels, with a frequent plea for day¬ 
light saving between the horse and knees. Equitation progressed until some of 
the common figures of cavalry drill were ably performed, the majority of 
riders feeling a great deal of confidence in the saddle. Following instruction 
in individual riding came harnessing and the driving of teams. This was fa¬ 
miliar work to the old “Bordermen”, and their experience was a great factor 
in helping out the others. Platoon drill, mounted, was carried out, but drill 
by battery was for some reason not attempted. 

In order that the men might gain a slight idea of conditions on the march 
and in the field, each battery, with horses, materiel, packs and rations, set off.

in battery column, mounted, bound for a location chosen by the instructor, 
suitable for a night encampment. When such a spot was reached, the car¬ 
riages having been formed properly in line, drivers and cannoneers would 
dismount, the drivers proceeding to unhitch, lead or ride their pairs to water 
and back to the picket lines, while cannoneers stretched picket lines between 
the wheels of the carriages and prepared to camp for the night. When the 
drivers had securely tied their horses, they joined with the cannoneers in un¬ 
making their packs and pitching shelter tents at the regulation distance of not 
closer than ten yards “in rear of the rear line of carriages.” A formation was 
then held followed by supper, individually cooked, consisting of bacon, pota¬ 
toes, onions, bread and coffee. Many of the chefs were neophytes, but suc¬ 
cesses far exceeded failures. At least no one went to bed hungry. After mess- 
kits had been cleaned, there was a little time for recreation and then bed, if 
hard ground could be called such, at nine o’clock. After a 5:30 reveille, 
breakfast similar to supper was prepared, tents struck, packs rolled and horses 
groomed. Grounds were “policed”, horses hitched, packs tied on carriages 
and animals, and, after drivers and cannoneers had mounted, the battery 
rumbled back to Camp somewhat wiser and aching in many joints. 

To train candidates in the conduct of fire, the blackboard method was 
first used. A target of four sections, representing an enemy battery, was 
sketched upon the board and in and about these enemy guns the instructor 
would indicate with chalk, points where a candidate’s shots had hit or burst. 
Proper initial commands had to be given before the first salvo was fired, and 
each succeeding salvo or volley was registered only after new commands, mak¬ 
ing supposedly proper corrections, had been given. Whether the adjustments 
ordered had been correct or not was indicated on the board with a new set 
of chalk “bursts.” By this scheme of instruction candidates learned to prop¬ 
erly sense bursts, to control direction, distribution, height of burst and range, 
in fire for adjustment; and to pass at the right moment into the proper method 
of fire for effect. 

Other devices used to facilitate training in the principles of fire were 
miniature targets placed on the ground, the instructor using a long stick with 
a round disc on the end to designate the kind and location of bursts; and min¬ 
iature painted “ranges”, called “terrain boards.” Lack of materials, time and 
room made it impossible to carry on smoke-bomb or sub-calibre practice, each 
of which would have helped still more to clarify and give practice in this dif¬ 
ficult art of fire control. Opportunity to use these methods and actual fire 
were to be enjoyed after August 1 5th. 

While the infantry dug trenches, west of the main north and south road, 
the artillery dug model gun emplacements on the eastern side. That was one 
form of blister-raising amusement not enjoyed by the cavalry. 

The majority of the work covered by the two cavalry troops of the Camp 
was similar to that of the artillery with the exception that additional study 
of horses and mounted drill took the place of the firing instruction on the ar¬ 
tillery schedule. They mastered the cavalry drill regulations, studied in detail 




220 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


the anatomy of the horse and his diseases—common and uncommon—and 
rode and drilled mounted with and without saddles, until by fours they per¬ 
formed with remarkable finish and skill. It was not until the Camp was nearly 
over that a rumor spread about that the cavalry troops of the training camps 
would in all probability not be used to officer new squadrons to be sent abroad. 
The true news came too late to permit of any revision in the cavalry training 
schedule. It was a blow that struck disappointment in the heart of many 
whose love of horses had led them into that branch of the service. But the 
cavalrymen willingly were equal to any emergency, as was later so well indi¬ 
cated by the type of machine gun companies which they whipped into shape at 
Camps Custer and Grant. 

A time of dire dread to every man in Camp was Saturday morning, after 
inspection. Hour tests were given, covering the work of the week. Marks 
made on these would be sure to affect a man’s chances of surviving all cuts. 
The papers in some organizations, marked by men chosen by the instructor for 
the purpose, were given back the following week, and brought joy and sorrow 
in varying degrees to the recipients. 

True enough, there were cuts made. Some came at the time of reorgani¬ 
zation, some one month later and, after that a few men were dropped from 
each organization every week. These were serious times of thought and worry 
to both candidates and instructors. 



ON AND OFF AGAIN 





THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP

A great opportunity which was offered, especially to the younger men, 
was the chance to make application for admittance to aviation officers’ train¬ 
ing schools. The number allowed to apply was not limited. The response 
was quite large and many passed the required physical tests. Some were sent 
to Canada and some to camps in this country, principally the University of 
Illinois Ground School, for training. 

Opportunities were also offered and accepted to become administrative 
and truck train officers in the quartermasters’ corps and to become officers in 
the ordnance department. 

It may be imagined that in the intensity of training, the problems afford¬ 
ing military enlightenment were assailed with the primary purpose of finding 
a solution—all thought of a definite enemy being out of mind. To a certain 
extent this was true. Surely Germans were not continually talked about, nor 
was the righteousness of the cause of the Allies; but nevertheless these two 
subjects lay in the near background of every man’s mind, and events were fre¬ 
quently happening which would bring these latent feelings to the fore. 

Early in June the First Liberty Loan was launched throughout the United 
States. Did this drive omit the Training Camps, feeling perhaps that the men 
there were doing enough without calling upon them to subscribe? Not a bit of 
it. The men would have deeply resented having the opportunity of helping to 
the utmost taken away from them. The drives included the camps, and, 
even though some men were having difficulty in meeting obligations on the pay 
received, nevertheless the response of the candidates was generous. An ac¬ 
count in the “Reveille” reads: 

If the Emperor of Germany has allowed himself to look at the re¬ 
turns from Liberty Bond subscriptions in the United States he has seen 
where the student officers at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, have given more than 
$ 1 07,000 to their government to aid in financing the American end of the 
world war. If he has permitted himself to ponder on the significance of 
this offer of both life and money on the altar of freedom he has done so 
with a catch in his murderous throat. 

Men in the Reserve Officers’ Training Camp are not minimizing in 
the least the difficulties of the task ahead in clearing the road to democ¬ 
racy in Europe, but they are going to do their part in clearing the road. 
This grim determination to make the world safe for peace-loving people 
ever after is shown by the spirit of loyalty back of the Liberty Bond sub¬ 
scriptions. 

The kaiser can well exclaim, “Mein Gott, those Americans mean 
business!” for they mean nothing else, and they are going to do business 
under the folds of Old Glory until the last “divine right” blasphemer is 
driven from power. 

News Bulletins on the Liberty Loan in America furnish the hand 
writing on the wall for the bloodiest hand of swashbucklers the world has 
yet seen, and the returns at R. O. T. C. stand out among all the rest. 
Having given their money as the least they can do, they are preparing to 
add their lives to their subscriptions as the most they can do. If more 
can be done it will be done.

A DAILY EXERCISE 


Boche propaganda which had fooled the people of this nation for several 
years, did not cease with the declaration of war on April 6th. True, at the 
Training Camps it did not descend to the cowardly depths reached at Camp 
Grant, and some other cantonments, where hungry men in the mess halls 
crunched, unwarned, on breakfast food flavored with ground glass; nor was 
there opportunity to mangle innocent men by creating defective airplane parts. 
The gentle method adopted was the spreading of rumors with the intention of 
belittling the strength of the Allies and enlarging on the prowess of the Hun; 
thus creating a sense of fear among the candidates. Needless to say, even had 
the rumors been true, the men were not of a type, and no true American is, 
to be thus easily intimidated. One rumor told of the tremendous mortality 
of Allied officers. Some parents, perhaps, were affected by such rumors. It 
was for them, no doubt, that the following statement by Roger Babson, the 
eminent statistician, appeared in the papers during July: 

Fourteen men out of every fifteen have been safe so far. Under 
present conditions, where man power is being saved, not more than one 
in thirty is killed. 

Only one man in five hundred loses a limb—a chance no greater 
than in hazardous conditions at home. 

Most of the wounds sustained in the trenches are clean cut and of 
a nature that a few weeks in the hospital makes the subject as as fit as 
ever. But 300,000 French soldiers have been discharged on account of 
wounds during the three years of the war. 

From fighting in the trenches most of the wounds are in the top of 
the head, simply scalp wounds. Practically speaking, a wound is either 
fatal or slight, with few in between these two extremes. 

Of course, the whole thing is horrible enough as it is. But I wish to 
tell the fathers and mothers left behind by the boys that, looking at the 
matter in the light of cold-blooded statistics, these boys are not going 
into anywhere near the danger the folks at home imagine.

It is not the custom of Americans to adopt a hymn of hate and become 
depraved in the chanting of it. But to refrain from truth, the proclaiming of 
which would help to enhance righteous indignation, already kindled, would 
be an act of omission difficult to pardon. There were many men of our gov¬ 
ernment working to bring to the eye of the public the truth about conditions 
as they were known to exist. Prominent among these was Secretary of State 
Robert Lansing. In a speech to the student officers at Madison Barracks 
he said: 

The evil character of the German government is laid bare before 
the world. We know that that government is inspired with ambitions 
which menace human liberty, and that to gains its end does not hesitate 
to break faith or to perpetrate interminable acts of humanity. 

It needed but the words reported to have been uttered by the Ger¬ 
man chancellor to complete the picture of the character of his govern¬ 
ment when he announced that the only reason why the intensified sub¬ 
marine campaign was delayed until February last was that sufficient 
submarines could not be built before that time to make the attacks on 
commerce efficient. 

Do you realize that this means that the promises to refrain from 
brutal submarine warfare which Germany had made to the United States 
were never intended to be kept, that they were only made in order to 
gain time to build more submarines and that when the time came to act 
German promises were unhesitatingly torn to pieces like other “scraps 
of paper” ? 

Let us understand once for all that this is no war to establish an 
abstract principle of right. It is a war in which the future of the United 
States is at stake. 

Imagine Germany victorious in Europe because the United States 
remained neutral. Who, then, think you would be the next victim of 
those who are seeking to be masters of the whole earth? Would not this 
country with its enormous wealth arouse the cupidity of an impoverished 
though triumphant Germany? 

Would not this democracy be the only obstacle between the auto¬ 
cratic rulers of Germany and their supreme ambition? Do you think they 
would withhold their hand from so rich a prize? 

Primarily then every man who crosses the ocean to fight on foreign 
soil against the armies of the German emperor goes forth to fight for his 
country and the preservation of those things for which our forefathers 
were willing to die. 

To those who thus offer themselves we owe the same debt that we 
do to those men who in the past fought on American soil in the cause of 
liberty. No, not the same debt, but a greater one. 

It calls for more patriotism, more self-denial, and a truer vision to 
wage war on distant shores than to repel an invader or defend one’s 
home. I, therefore, congratulate you young men in your choice of ser¬ 
vice. You have done a splendid thing. 

You have earned already the gratitude of your countrymen and 
of generations of Americans to come. 

Your battle flags will become the cherished trophies of a nation 
which will never forget those who bore them in the cause of liberty.

ATTACK AND DEFENSE 


Were every people on earth able to express their will there would 
be no wars of aggression, and if there were no wars of aggression there 
would be no wars, and lasting peace would come to this earth. The only 
way that a people can express their will is through democratic institutions. 
Therefore, when the world is made safe for democracy, when that great 
principle prevails, universal peace will be an accomplished fact. 

No nation of people will be fit more than the United States when 
that time comes. But it has not yet come. 

Gala occasions at Fort Sheridan were few and far between. There was 
little time for “fuss and feathers” during the few precious weeks of prepara¬ 
tion. Two parades were indulged in, however—one on July 4th when the 
members of both regiments tramped to Lake Forest and back; and the other 
on Saturday, August 5 th, when both regiments entrained for Chicago to par¬ 
ticipate in the great National Army parade. 

The committee in charge of this parade consisted of: John T. Stockton, 
chairman; Angus S. Hibbard, secretary; Howard Elting, Charles Hopper, E. 
U. Kimbark, H. H. Merrick, Victor Olander, Paul Steinbrecher, Charles H. 
Wacker, Thomas E. Wilson, Kay Wood, John W. O’Leary, ex-officio. 

The finance committee which provided for the necessary expenses of the 

event—transportation, grand stand, flags, invitations-consisted of John A. 

Spoor, chairman; Samuel Insull, E. D. Hulbert, B. E. Sunny and Frank O. 
Wetmore, treasurer.

THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


The idea of the parade had strongly appealed to citizens of foreign birth, 
so that Polish, Servian and other societies were active in organizing marchers 
and in arranging for the representation of their citizens along the parade 
route. 

The National Army Day Committee, with the co-operation of the mem¬ 
bers of the exemption boards for the registration divisions of the city, dis¬ 
tributed 10,000 posters prepared to command the attention of the registered 
men, and mailed directly to those in the first quota to be called, 50,000 invi¬ 
tations. 

The officers of the parade were: Grand Marshal, Colonel W. J. Nichol¬ 
son; Assistant to Grand Marshal, Major Raymond Sheldon; Chief of Staff, 
Captain E. R. W. McCabe; Aids, Captain Benson, Captain Wharton Clay, 
executive secretary Military Training Camps Association. 

After the event, seven trains carried the members of the R. O. T. C. to 
the Stock Yards, where luncheon was served to all troops and where, in the 
pavilion, the men were received and addressed by members of the Russian 
commission and others. 

The “Reveille” of Friday following the parade gives an interesting 
description: 

Student officers at R. O. T. C. still feel the thrill of Chicago’s wel¬ 
come to the new National Army and its leaders. 

Crowds that made the loop district a seething mass of humanity 
gathered to honor the men who will fight for liberty on the battlefields 
of France will long be remembered by the men at Fort Sheridan. 

The fighting men were on parade. With seven bands playing the 
soulful battle hymns of all the allied nations, soldiers, sailors and poten¬ 
tial fighters passed before tens of thousands of spectators who were there 
to pay them worship. 

It was National Army day, and the men who have or will be called 
to the colors were the guests of honor. Thousands of men who will serve 
in the new army were in line. Every one of them carried an American 
flag. A more stirring spectacle hardly could be imagined. They looked 
like a giant wave of red, white and blue to a spectator from a skyscraper 
window. 

Representatives of every military establishment in Chicago and 
Cook County took part in the parade. Four thousand members of the 
Reserve Officers’ Training Camp at Fort Sherida,n, 6,000 National 
Guardsmen, the jackies with their great band and the National Army 
men, with policemen and firemen, composed the make-up. The guards¬ 
men lined the sides of the streets until the registered men had passed, 
then fell in and covered the complete line of march. 

Twenty-two thousand seven hundred soldiers, sailors and civilians 
marched in the parade. It took one hour and twenty-five minutes for 
the parade to pass the reviewing stand, and three-quarters of an hour 
for the National Army men alone. 

The marchers stood as follows in numerical strength: National 
Army men, 10,000; student officers, 4,100; National Guardsmen, 6,000; 
aliens and foreign-born citizens, 2,000; policemen, 300; firemen, 300.

THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


The parade started practically on the minute. Ten o clock was the 
scheduled time, and exactly at 10:10 the troops from Fort Sheridan 
swung out of Grant Park at Van Buren street and entered Michigan 
avenue to march north until reaching Randolph street. 

A mighty cheer went up as the khaki-clad student officers started 
up the avenue. There was a ripple of flags on the side-lines as far as 
one could see. The cheers had the effect of a tonic on the men. Heads 
up, chests out, they marched in perfect unison. 

The troops approached the reviewing stand at the Art Institute. 
Everywhere there was shouting and flag waving. At times the music of 
the bands could hardly be heard. Hats came off in salute to the colors. 

Colors of America and her allies were everywhere. On the front 
of the Art Institute the American and Russian flags were entwined. 
Everywhere else the flags of all nations fighting for liberty were displayed. 
Nearly every spectator carried a flag or wore the colors. 

In the reviewing stand stood Maj.-Gen. Thomas H. Barry, com¬ 
manding the Central Department, U. S. A., members of the Russian com¬ 
mission, representatives of the civic organizations that organized the big 
demonstration, and relatives of the “258’s.” 

After an escort of motorcycle and mounted police had passsed, the 
student officers, led by Col. W. J. Nicholson, their commander, who was 
grand marshal as well, came even with the reviewing stand the cheering 
grew deafening. General Barry watched the troops go swinging by. His 
face lighted and he clapped his hands. 

“Wonderful, wonderful, and in three months, too,’’ he said. 

Four thousand one hundred of the student officers passed the stand. 

“What a wonderful performance for only three months of training!” 
exclaimed General Barry, his face wreathed in smiles of satisfaction, as 
he turned to the head of the Russian mission, Ambassador Boris H. 
Bakhmetieff. 

“That shows,’’ he added, clapping his hands vigorously, “what 
Americans can do when the heart is right.’’ 

And the eminent Russian, his gaze riveted upon the marchers, their 
heads erect, their steps in splendid unison, could not restrain his 
enthusiasm. 

“It is the finest body of men I ever saw!” he said. “The men are 
remarkably drilled. It is an inspiring sight!” 

Ambassador Bakhmetieff of the Russian mission gave vent to his 
feelings with applause, then turned to say: 

“What an inspiring sight. Such a demonstration as this gives me 
further confidence for the world-wide success of democracy ” 

Meanwhile, the Great Lakes Naval Training Station band, divided 
into two sections, played continuously the war hymns of America and 
her allies. 

Then came detachments of policemen and firemen. There was a 
separate detachment of the men in the two services who are subject to 
service in the National Army. The crowds applauded them, too. First 
Deputy Chief Westbrook and Capt. John B. Alcock led the policemen, 
and Battalion Chiefs Edward F. McGurn and Michael Corrigan led the 
firemen. 

Suddenly the cheering became earsplitting. The noise became one 
great roar. The National Army men were coming! 



THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


229 


The 258 s were first. Leading them were four men, a white 
American, a black American, a Russian and a Chinese, representative of 
the cosmopolitan throng that was to follow. 

The National Army men, marching in regiments and under their own 
district banners, formed a long line. According to the estimate of the 
official recorder in the stand, there were 1 0,000 civilians in line. 

Every one of the 10,000 saluted with his flag as he came even with 
the reviewing stand. General Barry and the crowd on the stand returned 
it with smiles and applause. Women jumped on chairs and waved flags. 
Pandemonium reigned until the last man had passed. Never was there 
such a demonstration of favor in the city s history, in the belief of many 
observers. 

Following the National Army men came a tank with a banner on its 
sides, containing just one word: “Enlist.” 

Then 6,000 Chicago members of the Illinois National Guard fell in, 
preceded by the Naval Training Station band. At this time 1 4,700 men 
had marched past the reviewing stand. 

Three regiments of guardsmen were in line—the Second, Seventh 
and Eighth Infantry. 

Following the guardsmen came 2,000 or more aliens and foreign- 
born citizens above the age limit for the National Army. They were 
there because they wished the people to know that the foreign born are 
with the United States in her hour of need. 

Every flag of America’s allies was carried in the ranks of the aliens. 
Boy Scouts carried banners designating the nationalities of the men they 
preceded. 

Cheers greeted the foreign born, as they had the student officers, the 
policemen and firemen, the jackies and the National Guardsmen. There 
was not a break in the ranks of the spectators until the last man had 
passed. 

Arrangements for the parade, well perfected beforehand, were car¬ 
ried out without a hitch. Although the crush of spectators was great, the 
police had control over the crowd at all times. 

Committees in charge of the parade expressed great satisfaction at 
the demonstration. Chicago is the first city so to honor its men called 
for service in the National Army, and it is probable that the example 
will be followed by other cities. 

Immediately after the parade, General Barry wrote the following letter 
to Colonel Nicholson: 

I cannot speak in too high praise of the magnificent appearance 
made by the Training Camp men in this morning’s parade. The impres¬ 
sion they made on everybody who was fortunate enough to witness the 
parade will be lasting and should convince all of the necessity for, and 
the great benefits to be derived from, universal service and training. Chi¬ 
cago never saw a more magnificent body of intellectually, morally and 
physically perfect young American manhood than they saw today in the 
Training Camp Regiment, including the Training Camp men who mag¬ 
nificently handled the selected men. I congratulate them and you and 
all the instructors at the Camp for the wonderful results attained in the 
past three months. 






































THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


231 


I am satisfied, too, that the selected men were impressed by the 
proficiency of the men who are to command them. 

1 would like to have you assemble all the Training Camp men and 
read them this letter. 

During the latter days of July, Lt.-Col. James A. Ryan and Maj. James 
S. Parker personally interviewed every member of their respective regiments. 
Certain hours were assigned to each company, battery and troop for these 
inspections. When the chief instructor arrived at a company at the appointed 
hour, the men were waiting in line outside the door, in a mysterious order, 
not alphabetical, having been placed there in accordance with a list in the 
hands of their instructor. Could it be that the position a man held in this file 
meant his order of rank in the company? Eyes glanced up and down the 
lengthy line. The men toward the head undoubtedly had made excellent 
records. Before the line commenced to move the men were told to give 
certain information as soon as they had properly addressed the inspector, 
without waiting to be questioned. They should then replace their hat, about 
face, and walk out. The line commenced to move. The first man had gone 
in and out successfully. He had recited his “piece” without a hitch. All down 
the line he was eagerly questioned. “Wasn’t anything. They don’t ask you 
a thing,” was his smiling reply. Nervousness continued to grow, however. A 
speck of mud on a shoe, a scratch on a puttee, a bit of dust on a sleeve loomed 
alarmingly annoying as the momentous door was approached. No, it “wasn’t 
anything,” but some men’s minds, nevertheless, became an utter void in the 
midst of a simple statement, and others awkwardly faced about to the left and 
bolted for the door, when their “speech” had been finished, only to have the 
humiliation of being recalled by the inspecting officer and told to about face 
properly to the right before leaving. Some believed themselves “queered” 
for good, but actually it is doubtful if this inspection counted for much, as 
the final lists of recommendations were already made up and ready to send 
in to Washington. It was merely a little act of checking up by the higher 
authorities on the recommendations of the company, battery and troop in¬ 
structors. And the speculation of many was right concerning the order of the 
line awaiting inspection—the men had been arranged to appear in order of 
rank that the work of checking recommendations might be facilitated. 

On August 3rd the following bit of news was published, resulting in the 
creation of multitudes of rumors, speculations and moments of anxiety: 

Sealed verdicts are ready in the cases of the 4,000 members of the 
Officers’ Training Camp who have survived the grueling work of the last 
eleven weeks. 

The company boards which pass upon the recommendations of the 
instructor of a company, battery and troop completed their two weeks’ 
grind this evening. They have listened to the case of every candidate 
for a commission, have read his record, have looked him over, and have 
approved or modified the recommendation of his instructor. 

An emphatic order from the War Department directs that no pub¬ 
licity whatever shall be given the recommendations until they have been 
acted upon at Washington. 




232 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


It is expected that Washington will have acted upon the reports 
from the Camp before August 1 1th, the close of the instruction period; 
but in the meantime the students are supposed to be in ignorance of their 
fate. This is not entirely true, as some of them have discovered exactly 
where they stand, but Col. W. J. Nicholson, commanding officer, has 
asked that no reports of this sort be published. 

The regimental board which passed upon recommendations for 

staff positions-quartermaster and ordnance department—completed its 

work several days ago. 

There were not many more days of work remaining before the fatal news 
would be known. It was hard to study under these conditions of uncertainty, 
but, nevertheless, work and study did go on with the accustomed seriousness 
of purpose. 

Three farewell receptions, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., were 
held during the next to final week of Camp. The order of companies attending 
these meetings and the speakers and committees of reception follow:

AWARDING COMMISSIONS 


The remarks of all of the speakers at these meetings created a deep 
impression on these men who were on the verge of an experience without 
precedent in American history. The words of the commanding officer, Colonel 
Nicholson, were especially taken to heart: 

A previous speaker has told you that many of you will be officers. 
I would like to make officers of all of you, but we are limited by Wash¬ 
ington. You know the good book says that many are called, but few 
are chosen. We are going a little further and say that many have been 
called and nearly all will be chosen. 

You are going to take upon yourselves grave responsibilities. The 
term officer carries the idea of leadership. You know your duties and 
know yourselves. You are going to be up against some hard proposi¬ 
tions—propositions that you haven’t been used to, and you have got to 
make up your minds before you go across to France that nothing can 
stop you from reaching your goal. Whether you have one trench or 
fifty trenches to take, you must decide that as long as you have life in 
your bodies you must fight to the end. Many of you men have never 
been leaders. You have always been told what to do. Now you are 
going to tell other men what to do and teach them. So remember this— 
all men appreciate justice and a square deal. You must be square and 
just in all your dealings. Be honest and direct. Don’t be afraid to go 
up to a man and take hold of him if necessary. The law permits you to 
use necessary force. Keep yourselves above reproach and never do any¬ 
thing that will enable a man to say, “Oh, well, if that man does anything 
to me. I’ll inform on him.’’ 

Keep your consciences clean, live like men, and nothing will ever 
make you ashamed or afraid. 















234 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


I hope it will be my privilege to go to France with you, and from 
what I have seen of the men at this camp I am sure their commanders 
will not blush for them, for I feel that you realize that you have a high 
duty to perform and that you will do that duty to the best of your ability. 

On Thursday evening, August 9th, the rewards of three months of tireless 
study and struggle were meted out. It was an evening of intense and hushed 
excitement. Some studying had been done following supper, but after a few 
moments of attempted application, all endeavor failed. Soon there were dis¬ 
tant cries of “All out!’’, “Fall in!”, and one company after another, at intervals 
of fifteen minutes, tramped tensely and silently out of their company streets. 
But the entire quota of a company did not go. After the men had formed in 
the dim light of dusk, the captain called to his men “at ease and read the 
names of about thirty candidates. Why these men had been told to step from 
the ranks was not immediately announced, but it was later made known that 
among them were those who had been assigned to the Regular Army as pro¬ 
visional second lieutenants, those who were to be commissioned in the quar¬ 
termaster or ordnance corps, some who were dismissed for good and those 
who would be given the choice either of attending the Second Officers Train¬ 
ing Camp or going into service in the National Army as non-commissioned 
officers. Let it be said to the great credit of this latter group that the majority 
of those who entered the National Army as non-commissioned officers first 
rendered invaluable service in helping to train the new recruits, followed in 
nearly all cases by recommendation to the Third Officers Training Camp and 
the winning of a commission; while of those who chose to enter the Second 
Officers’ Training Camp, practically every man gained a commission, some 
of them even of the grade of first lieutenant. 

The remainder of the company—about 80 to 1 00 men—closed ranks 
to the right, and, at the appointed minute, under command of their captain 
instructor, faced to the right and followed the road which led to the ominous 
tower. A few feet from that first door, which had been entered in May with 
the little postal of admission, was another door. Here entered the solemn 
procession, and trudged up the stairs. After indefinitely climbing, the in¬ 
structor grasped a knob. The door opened and the men filed in. There were 
desks there. They seated themselves before any desk. The instructor walked 
to the front of the room. His steps were painfully loud. He unbuttoned a 
breast pocket and pulled out a crackling roll of paper. Some candidates 
leaned forward, others slouched carelessly back. With a slight cough, he 
commenced to read: 

Adjutant General’s Office, August 7, 1917. 

To Commanding Officer, Training Camp, 

Fort Sheridan, Illinois. 

Inform those concerned that the following appointments have been 

made from.Company, .Provisional 

Training Regiment, to date from August fifteen, nineteen seventeen. 

To be Majors: Section (Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry) Officers’ 
Reserve Corps. 

To be Captains: 

To be First Lieutenants: 

To be Second Lieutenants: 






THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


235 


On down the line he read, the names being in order of rank, each name 
registering a sentiment of approval, commendation or surprise. Feelings of 
approval outnumbered those of surprise, and it was generally agreed that 
awards had been properly made. The task of the instructor in classifying so 
large a number of men, known by him for so brief a period, was admittedly 
one of extreme difficulty. Age, previous experience and training camp record 
had been carefully weighed. Of these, age was considered of greatest impor¬ 
tance. Of course, some mistakes were made, but the majority of appoint¬ 
ments, considering the fund of excellent material, could not have been 
improved upon. 

The awards of August 9th were to be kept secret until public announce¬ 
ment in the newspapers had been made. 

Following the general publication of the commissions awarded came the 
announcement of the names of those men who had been appointed to act as 
instructors at the Second Officers’ Training Camp. Two such men of the rank 
of either captain or first lieutenant were chosen from each company, battery 
and troop. 

Another announcement which came as a total surprise to every candidate, 
whether included in the appointment or not, was a list of officers assigned for 
duty overseas. The method of choosing these men varied in different camps

THE REVIEW—SOLEMN IN ITS GRANDEUR 

of the country. At Plattsburg announcement of the opportunity was made 
and French-speaking volunteers were given the privilege of going. In order 
camps, volunteers, whether French-speaking or not, were sent. At Sheridan 
the men to go were chosen by the instructors. An average of ten men from 
each company, battery and troop were selected—half of them first lieuten¬ 
ants and half second lieutenants. Needless to say, these men were the envy 
of their comrades. 

The day following the announcement of commissions, a grand review was 
held on the large parade ground opposite the permanent barracks. Present 
in the reviewing stand were Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Gov. Wood- 
bridge N. Ferris of Michigan, Gov. E. M. Philipp of Wisconsin, Maj. Gen. 
Thomas H. Barry and Col. William J. Nicholson. The troops, in command 
of Col. James A. Ryan, formed at 2:1 5 P. M. in line of masses opposite the 
reviewing stand; the l 1th Regiment, Maj. James S. Parker commanding, on 
the right; the 10th Regiment, Maj. R. B. Parrott commanding, on the left. The 
mass of 4,000 candidates presented a thrilling spectacle to those in the stand 
and the hundreds of visitors. Addresses were made by each of the Governors 
and General Barry. Following the speeches, the men were called to attention 
and swung proudly and happily in review, in column of platoons, past the 
admiring group of distinguished guests. 

Prospect of scattered training companies within less than a week’s time, 
after which many of the men would never see each other again, prompted 






THE FIRST OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


237 


practically every organization to indulge in a “Farewell Banquet,” where 
happy and humorous experiences of the three months might be reviewed, and 
due honor paid to instructors who had so successfully piloted their ships 
through the seething sea of struggling candidates. Dining rooms in neighbor¬ 
ing clubs and hotels were chartered for the purpose, and the fun, speeches and 
stunts which took place made these farewell celebrations occasions of the 
happiest sort. 

The turning in of all possible equipment commenced on Saturday, August 
1 1 th. Then, too, those who had been holding back for fear of not meeting 
with success, began to busy themselves in an attempt to secure officers’ uni¬ 
forms and equipment of every sort. Others, who had taken a chance in 
ordering clothes, had their final fittings. 

No week-end passes were allowed the last Sunday in camp. The men 
were held, awaiting new developments or instructions from Washington. 

Monday and Tuesday, August 1 3th and 1 4th, were occupied with lectures 
and the turning in of more equipment. Definite word also arrived stating that 
men who were to be assigned to the National Army would be allowed two 
weeks’ “leave,” reporting to their various stations—Camps Custer or Grant— 
on August 29th. Men who were to go overseas must make ready at once 
and sail within a very few days. 

August 15, 1917, found in the United States of America a new type of 
man. Of these, there were 30,000. Three months before, they had volun¬ 
teered for training, many of them civilians, unschooled in the art of war. They 
had felt the call, made the decision, won on the first lap of the race. The 
camps had filled them with a spirit of patriotism not felt before. The training 
had given them a greater confidence. Some few hundred sailed for impor¬ 
tant service abroad. The greater portion, held temporarily in sixteen canton¬ 
ments throughout the United States, undertook the training of and brought 
into being the finest type of soldier that America or Europe has ever seen. 
Where duty bid them go, the “first 30,000“ went. And not least among 
them, striving ever to accomplish their work with thoroughness, loyalty and 
patriotism, were members of that memorable group who trained on the shores 
of Lake Michigan from May to August, 1917, at that camp, the record of 
which as an officers’ training center in the United States has been unsurpassed 
—Fort Sheridan.

J. A. RYAN, Colonel Cavalry, Commanding. 




Headquarters Second Training Camp, Fort Sheridan, Illinois, 
August 23, 1917. 


TO THE CANDIDATES OF THE SECOND TRAINING CAMP: 

Y °u ha V e been selected from some twenty thousand applicants because 
your qualifications indicate that you can become efficient officers in the armies 
of the United States. 

The success of the First Training Camp was due to the spirit that moved 
Us members to apply themselves from the start to the work in hand. You 
will have with you as instructors officers of the Regular Army and officers who 
have just completed their course of training in the First Training Camps. Their 
whole object will be to give you the best instruction, practical and theoretical, 
that is possible within the three months’ time allotted. The success of their 
work will depend on your hearty co-operation, which means close attention 
to study and drill and strict compliance with all the regulations of the camp. 

Most of the candidates who come here have already achieved success in 
civil life—success in military life is achieved by the same means, namely, work 
and study. You know the methods, and the very fact that you have come 
here shows your intention to apply them. 

The two qualities in men which brought about the greatest returns in the 
last encampment were patience and team-work. Patience enables us to 
examine with care the requirements of any problem, and team-work brings 
Ik k n u! d r e f° r , tS ° f all , wh 1 ° achieve success. Cheerfulness, good humor, and 
the habit of looking at the bright side of things will be of great assistance. The 
man who can retain his cheerfulness under the most trying circumstances is the 
man who wins m the end. 

Remember you are in a way going back to school, and the comradeship 
which you will find among your fellow candidates in the various companies 
will be an incentive to effort. The friendships you will form here will be 
lastmg, and one of the greatest results that will come under your observation 
will be the many good qualities you will discover among your comrades during 
these three months which you little suspected when you first met them. 

Remember, this is the world’s greatest problem, and everything you do 
each day here contributes to the final results as much as if you were in the 
trenches in r landers. 

J. A. RYAN, 

Colonel of Cavalry. 



"pHEY WERE OFF! 

For several months they had been waiting in cities and towns back home. 
I he cantonments were being constructed. Some of the regulars had gone 
across. The National Guard, mobilized for months on the border, was 
prepared to embark. The First Officers’ Training Camp was completed. The 
newly-commissioned officers had already been assigned to Camp Grant or 
Camp Custer, while hundreds, who had not received commissions, had enlisted 
at the recruiting stations, determined to see service at all costs. 

Twenty thousand men had applied for the Second Reserve Officers’ 
Training Camp at Fort Sheridan. Four thousand had been chosen. The 
examining boards which went through the cities and towns of Illinois, Michi¬ 
gan, Wisconsin, Kansas, Colorado and Missouri, were instructed to select men 
on the basis of merit only. They were to choose men who were physically 
fit, men of experience who had already won places of responsibility in civil 
life. They found men anxious, ready, competing for places, proud to be 
chosen and prepared to go through. 

Early on the morning of August 23rd, the new “Rookies” appeared at 
Fort Sheridan. Some came the night before to avoid the rush. But the 
majority streamed in that August morning and filled up the long rows that 
began in the gymnasium and stretched out through the door around the corner 
and up the street. There were all kinds of men in that line. Grandfathers, 
several of them, trying to look like college graduates, and pulling their age 
records across the dead line without batting an eye. Congressmen, bankers 
and brokers, business leaders, professional leaders, deans of universities, 
clergymen, mechanics, golf champions and hurdle champions, actors, play¬ 
wrights, musical critics, farmers, ranchers, miners, students. 

Look at them. They are coming up in long lines like children on the 
first day of school. 

Look at them—clothes do make some difference in a man. But in a day 
the natty hat band, the silk shirt, the carefully pressed suit will disappear. 
In their place, the old service hat, the second-grade khaki shirt, the service 
uniform, canvas putts and broad-toed shoes. 

You will not recognize them again until you get up close and peer 
beneath the broad brim. Then you smile the first time. They were the same 
but so different. 

You may never see them again in the distinguishing clothes of the civilian, 
for many a man who went up the line that August morning, laid down for his 
final sleep in the Somme or in the Argonne, dressed in the khaki which he 
donned for the first time at Fort Sheridan. 

After they had registered and made selection of the branch of service 
they wished to enter they went to their new quarters. 

The men from Kansas, Colorado, Missouri—newcomers to Fort Sheridan 
and, in a sense, guests of Illinois, were given the Brick Barracks. So were the 
majority of the men from Michigan and Wisconsin, as in the First Camp.

HERE WE ARE 


PATIENCE 



























THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


331 


Three companies and two batteries from Michigan, Wisconsin and two 
batteries and the companies from Illinois occupied the wooden barracks south 
of the gully. 

After leaving the gymnasium that August morning the new rookie went 
to the company to which he was assigned. Provisions had been made for his 
coming. Equipment was ready. Consequently there was not the long period 
of waiting where men only half-equipped march with their company for weeks. 

Early in the afternoon of the first day the commandant looked out on 
the parade grounds. He saw company after company marching by—the 
officers of the companies competing with each other to see who could get 
their men to work first and who could make the best showing. No one will 
pretend the marching was perfect. There were some sad efforts to maintain 
the pace—there were some wornout rookies before night—but they got to it 
fast, and when they went to mess at 6 P. M.,—Oh, Boy! 

That first mess—it was interesting. Long wooden tables—and long 
benches men closely packed. Cooks and waiters who had been through 
three months’ grind, unaffected by “Who is who.” Just “cooking the chow” 
and putting it before the crowd. 

Some courtesy and politeness that first mess. Just getting acquainted, 
trying to get a right start with the men of the squad. Looking things over 
casually then passing them to the next fellow, thinking that they would return 
as they did back home, but they had a way of not returning, and “there wasn’t 
any more —so the waiter said. That was an army lesson they didn’t forget. 

Then came the second mess after the hike of that first afternoon and 
home rules were off. Men did not scan the dishes placed before them—they 
reached and ate and then reached again. The coffee wasn’t just like the 
Blackstone, but it was warm and it went to the spot and after they had eaten 
everything placed in front of them they went to the canteen and bought 
some more. 

To show just how rules of afmy etiquette are formed we believe the prize 
should go to the man who gave the following bits of advice to his comrades on 
“How to become popular in the Mess Hall.’’ 

1. As soon as the signal is given to “take seats’’ get your feet under the 
table as quickly as possible. Never do it the same way twice, though. In this 
way you keep the fellows on both sides of you in doubt and generally result in 
your getting first stab at the meat. 

2. Grab the coffee pitcher with one hand and the bread plate with the 
other and never let go of either until you’ve laid in your supply. 

3. If there are only three pieces of anything left on a plate when it gets 
to you, take two. The plate may not come back again and the chances are 
that the other fellows didn’t want any anyway. 

4. When biscuits are. passed, don’t forget your party tricks, for you 
may grow hungry later and uniforms have pockets. 

5. Try to sip your soup as noisily as possible. It helps to drown the 
noise of dishes.

Few days in the service were more interesting than those early days at 
Fort Sheridan. At first there were tired legs and weary arches, but that was 
not all. Then came weary brains. Men accustomed to large affairs, and to

broad experiences were suddenly called upon to start in and master the A. 
B. C. of military tactics—the school of the soldier, the school of the squad, 
the school of the company, or, in other words, the I. D. R. 

Candidate ., the executive head of one of the great industries 

of the country, sat on the side of his bunk at the close of one of these early 
days. He was not physically tired. He was too well-trained for that—but he 
was evidently all in. What had happened? Well, the A. B. C.’s of military 
training was too much for the mind that knew how to handle big affairs with¬ 
out strain. 

No one will know how conscientiously these men tried to memorize every 
word, every detail of those infantry regulations, repeating them by day and 
by night—perfecting each page as though life itself depended upon it. They 
made their brains sweat. They opened up the old avenues of memory. Their 
wills forced the old brain to go back and to master the methods of youth. 
They learned what they should have learned as boys as a part of their citizen¬ 
ship, the ability not merely to protect themselves but to protect their country 
as leaders. 

No man of forty who went through those early days will ever forget how 
impossible it seemed to ever master the essentials of military training upon

which the lives of thousands would depend further on. No men ever worked 
harder than they did then. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, 
and it does the same thing with the rookie. 

Colonel Ryan watched the men work, read the reports, inspected the 
companies and was pleased. Could they keep up the pace? If they could this 
would be the most military training camp in the country. 

They must play as well as work, he said, and they must learn lessons of 
proper training and caring for their men at Fort Sheridan which they could 
apply elsewhere. Music, for instance, was a relief at the close of the day. 
So the Director of Morale was instructed to provide a piano for every com¬ 
pany. Some hard-boiled old timers smiled the next day when a fleet of trucks 
came out from Chicago loaded with pianos. The movers smiled too 
when they unloaded a piano into the company barracks—but when the men 
came marching in on a cold afternoon and some man who knew how went in 
and tickled the keys, you could hear the old wooden barracks harmonize from 
one end to another—and everybody smiled—caught the spirit and went to

mess a little more cheerful and to study at night with great zest because of it. 
Of course there were some rotten musicians, some terrible discord, some real 
makers of agony, that prepared everybody for the worst, but it was a lot 
better than gossip and grouches, or even silence and snores, and more and 
more the piano became an important piece of furniture in the Camp. 

Speed, energy, enthusiasm marked the first week’s work. Colonel James 
A. Ryan, by his careful plans, his complete grasp of details and his considerate 
spirit, taught these men a wonderful lesson on the very first day and by the 

end of a week, they knew that they had a real leader-competent, courteous, 

strict in discipline, but considerate, thoughtful, and always holding in mind the 
purpose of giving his men the best training possible. 

At the close of the first week the Commanding Officer spoke to the men in 
the Y. M. C. A. building. His speech was a prophecy of what the Camp 
became in time. He said:

I want vim in everything. I want this camp to be the most military 
in the United States. Smile; be courteous; be patient. 

Vou have come here to perform a task. Your officers will carry 
out their part and by the progress which was made yesterday, and today, 
I am inspired by the hope that you will carry out your part. 

Y ou men have come here because you have made a decision be¬ 
tween right and wrong. There are only two things in this world—right 
and wrong. God has given you a conscience which is His voice speaking 
within you. When anything in your daily lives come up there is a broad 
line of demarcation between the right and the wrong and in your de¬ 
cisions never waver, but manfully speak out for the right. That habit of 
decision is one of the most important things in military life. 

Upon your decisions may depend men's lives. You must accustom 
yourselves to decisions. You will find in this Camp a great many things 
to which you are not accustomed. The attitude you take toward them 
will determine your success or failure.

THE HOUSE IN ORDER 

Look at the humorous side of things. Don’t forget that humor is 
the saving thing of life. When you men are worn out by a hard day in 
the trenches or on the march remember that there’s always a bright side 
to everything. 

Train yourselves to the habit of precision even in the smallest 
things. Be slow to decide about the characters of the men about you. 
In time you will discover qualities in your companions that you never 
suspected before. Look upon your officer as your big brother. Bear 
toward him the brotherly love that he will bear toward you. I want my 
officers to give careful consideration to all questions and to give appro¬ 
priate replies. 

It is a serious question to decide in three months who shall be 
officers. Don’t forget that the officers who command you will do justice 
not only to you but to the United States Government. This country 
wants ability in leaders. It wants men who will win. 

I want my officers to allow no outside influence to affect their de¬ 
cisions. I want nothing to control but the qualities they observe in you 
from day to day. That’s what we want, that’s what they want and that’s 
what you want. 

Methods of warfare are changing every day. I have to study just 
as you are studying. We are going to give you the most advanced course 
possible in three months’ time. You are going to live, eat and sleep in 
the trenches for forty-eight hours at a time. There may even be gas 
attacks. In short, we are going to give you as nearly as possible those 
things which will make up your experience on the other side. 

Remember that in military life, as in civil life, there is one thing 
that smooths out all rough places—the oil of courtesy. Use it in every¬ 
thing. Remember that to all propositions that you approach there are 
always two handles—rough and smooth. Use the smooth every time. 
Be patient. Don’t be selfish, but work for the success of your squad, 
your platoon and your company. Approach all your tasks with a smile.

On Saturday the men were given their first leave. It came as a great 
relief to many. Tired bodies and tired brains tempted men to sleep for 
twenty-four hours in some quiet place. Many went to their homes—some to 
the city for a change; but tucked away in some corner, or down by the lake 
you could see man after man trying to make up during the brief respite for 
his slowness in grasping what had been taught through the week. 

In many a secluded spot on that first day of leave, some hard-pressed 
rookie drilled and studied, hoping by this added effort to maintain his place in 
the ranks until his body and brain would respond to the gruelling test. 

Many months after the war a former rookie who had a son in the service, 
confessed that he had not only used his days of leave but had also used the 
brief hour of rest between 4:30 and 5 :30 to catch up. Down in the gully con¬ 
cealed by bushes he had employed an old army sergeant to tutor him and to 
put him right. This spirit was invaluable. 

Upon their return for the second week the rookie found the official 
schedule posted on the Company Bulletin Board. We reprint it. Those who 
helped to carry it through will remember how some of it felt and how much 
it eventually helped.

Many of the Regular Army officers who had acted as staff officers or 
instructors in the First Camp were promoted and assigned to other organiza¬ 
tions when that Camp closed. 

The Second Camp had not progressed far before the majority of those 
who were left were assigned elsewhere and only a small number remained to 
act as majors of battalions and as staff officers. 

Too much cannot be said for the Regular Army officers who were at 
Fort Sheridan. They disproved from the start the common idea that the 
officers of the United States Army in times of peace had lived an inactive life. 

These men had been kept in the finest training. Many of them, after 
years of education and experience, had come to Fort Sheridan at the First 
Camp ranking as first lieutenants and captains, yet they had built a physical

and technical founda¬ 
tion upon which they 
were able to extend 
their qualities for 
leadership, so that 
within a year they 
were acting on some 
of the most respon¬ 
sible positions in the 

A. E. F. 

Years of inten¬ 
sive training and 
study, the discipline 
to keep themselves fit 
for such a time as this, 
as well as their simple, 
direct, considerate, 
confident manner, all 
conspired to make 
them ideal training 
leaders for such a 
Camp. 

The men were 
quick to perceive in 
them qualities of real 
leadership and an un¬ 
usual loyalty devel- 
o p e d between the 
Regular Army officers 
who showed any dis¬ 
tinguishing characteristics and the men who were to be the leaders of the 
new National Army. This loyalty and admiration continues even after the 
details are forgotten—and the officers of the Regular Army will always 
have some better friends in civil life, because of the associations of those 
earlier days. 

Every Fort Sheridan man, no matter how large his experience in business 
or professional life may have been, realized that there is something in the 
kind of intensive military training, the knowledge of practical details, the ease 
and simplicity of commanding leadership which cannot be imitated nor can 
it be learned with rapidity. 


THE BROOM AND BUCKET BRIGADE 


As a foundation for any future policy of adequate defense, they realize 
that there must be maintained a large and capable group of such highly 
trained military leaders. 


As the Regular Army officers departed, the Reserve officers who had 
been selected in the First Camp at Fort Sheridan and Fort Reilly took their 
places. Most of these new officers had some previous military training before 











346 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


coming to the First Camp. They had shown to their instructors their ability 
along these lines and were selected on this basis. 

A great deal of credit belongs to the instructors of companies in the 
Second Camp, every one of whom was a Reserve officer. It was a difficult 
problem they faced. In addition to the responsibility of giving correct military 
instruction and of keeping up with the constantly changing methods of war¬ 
fare, these men had in their companies older, more experienced men who 
were leaders in every walk of life, and younger men who had had little training 
and some who were not qualified for leadership. These must be continually 
inspired and their true values estimated with fairness. It was some job. 

They did it, and did it well. It was one of the fine accomplishments of 
these early days. Sure—there were some who were not satisfied—others who 
felt that their personal abilities were not properly recognized, but the rank and 
file recognized the splendid services given«and much of the loyalty so evident 
between officers and men in the First Camp was transferred to the more inti¬ 
mate relationships of the Second. 

There were several noticeable changes in the Second Camp. One was 
the weather. July and August, with their bright sun, their hot days, their 
warm nights, had departed. September tried to be kind, but it couldn’t. 

Whew! B-r-r-r! The old wind began to blow off the lake. The early 
cold of Northern Wisconsin came hustling across the waves. 

Some of the candidates who had been enjoying a brief leave came back 
the third Sunday afternoon looking like “Washington’s forces at Valley 
Forge.’’ 

Big sheet-iron stoves went up in the wooden barracks and every one 
joined the “Hot stove brigade.” Lumber was brought hurriedly to the rescue 
to line the walls of the wooden barracks and to reinforce the floors. The old 
sun came back in a few days—smiled deceptively as much as to say, “I was 
just playing with you.” But he didn’t fool the rookies again. They were 
ready next time and although there were some cold, wet days before December 
1 st, they were all set. 

On Sunday evenings, the men came back from leave at 4 P. M. Colonel 
Ryan arranged for get-together meetings in the gymnasium. The opening 
address was made by Major-General William H. Carter, Commander of the 
Central Department. 

A crowded house greeted General Carter. With soldier-like simplicity 
he seemed to speak directly to each individual man. He said: 

I urge every one of you to maintain the standard of ethics laid down 
by General Washington. 

Conduct yourselves in a way that will be a source of pride to your¬ 
selves, your family, your friends and your country. 

Some of you, when you become officers, will feel that you are not 
appreciated. I warn you against that feeling. The only object of your 
living should be to give the best that is in you. Opportunity plays a 
great part. Some may be observed to perform achievements while 
others may be ignored for a time, but, remember, if you continue to 
perform the task before you that fact will not go unheeded.

Common sense is the chief element involved in leadership besides 
courage. Remember, the boys of the National Army are as full of energy 
and spirit as you are, and you must make allowance for shortcomings due 
to exuberance. 

In the old days of Greece it was the custom to bring to Athens for 
the great games only those of the provinces who were supreme in 
prowess. The final event in the contests was the torch bearers’ race, 
where the leading athletes were placed in line and each given a torch. 
It was not the runner who merely crossed the line first that was victorious, 
but the man who led the van of those who kept their torches alight. 

Those old Greeks through this contest desired to instill into the 
minds of their strong men the fact that they must keep aglow the fire of 
their patriotism that the liberties of Greece might be preserved. 

Do you see to it, too, that you keep aglow the torch of liberty and 
that you reach the goal with something still left in you. 

From Sunday to Monday seemed like a step from the Sublime to the 
Ridiculous. They had listened to the Commander of the Central Department 
urging them “to keep aglow the torch of liberty.” What was this they hear on 
Monday?—“Grab up your pick and shovel and dig trenches.” 

Out there on the parade grounds there were some trenches already. 
They represented blisters, sore backs and callouses developed in the First 
Camp, but they were only a beginning. With one-half the number of men.

there was to be four times the digging. The gully was to be crossed. The 
trenches were to extend out into the woods and when completed were to 
include the entire category of field fortifications, dugouts, latrines, machine- 
gun placements, observation points, first aid stations and ambulance depots. 
The system was to be large enough to accommodate an entire regiment of 
infantry. 

In the digging of trenches there had to be developed a technique not to 
be found in military work before this war. It was fortunate that at this time 
there came to Fort Sheridan a man who won a big place in the hearts of all 
the men and who was greatly admired both for his spirit and ability. This 
man was Captain Georges Etienne Bertrand of the Sixth Battalion, Alpine 
Chasseurs. 

He had taken part in the great battles of the war. He had been wounded 
four times and had received the Cross of the Legion of Honor. His arrival 
brought a new air of reality as well as a more technically perfect plan of 
operation. 

Early on Monday morning the companies marched out to the job, armed 
with picks and shovels—each company assigned to a specific job. The earth 
began to fly—trees were cut down, old trenches were drained. The rain came 
down to complicate the job. Wherever men could get high rubber boots it 
helped, but sometimes you would see a man almost up to his waist in mud 
going to it, as though his life depended on it. 

At night the Illinois regiment that had been working through the day 
slept in the trenches. Somewhere off there in the woods Michigan and Wis¬ 
consin men had been making ready to act. Diplomacy had failed. Since the 
Michigan-Wisconsin men had lived in style over in the brick barracks, a fight

was inevitable. Michigan-Wisconsin had a practically easy day, except for 
the rain. No tired backs—no blistered hands—no poorly drained ditches to 
stand in. They were waiting for darkness to make their attack. Illinois was 
waiting to meet them. 

The trenches on the Somme—the dugouts so vividly pictured by Bairns- 
father—had their duplicate that night at Fort Sheridan. As ditch diggers, 
some of the rookies were better comedians than plumbers. For in their zeal 
to dig faster than the next company, some forgot that water ran down hill. 

If you were there, you will remember the first night in the trenches at 
Fort Sheridan. It had all the horrors except bursting shells. The bottom of 
the trenches soon became sluiceways of mud. The rain, cold and clinging, 
came down in floods. Patrols climbing over the top could neither be seen 
nor heard a few feet distant. Guards stood looking over the parapets and 
wondering when morning would come. 

Who could describe the dugouts on that first rainy night? There was 
one in which the company had taken particular pride during the day. A group 
of men afterwards notable in the service helped to build it and they were 
proud. They only forgot one thing that was important—water runs down hill. 

In the early evening it was fine. A happy group—at the end of a hard 
day, whispered their experiences, imitating real warfare. They had built a 
dirt seat for comfort around the dugout, and a cozy sheet-iron stove in the 
center. Then the rain began to operate. Down the trenches it came until it

found the welcome trench that led to the dugout and then it just kept on 
running. Higher and higher it rose, while the men looked at each other in 
despair. They were men who were generally resourceful, but they never had 
faced a situation like this. So, like Noah, they tried standing on the seats and 
hanging their coats and guns on improvised racks, but at last they gave it up 
as a bad job and with cold, wet feet and clothing soaked, they went out into 
the night to take their chances with weather and water straight. Oh, that 
night! 

During the night sharp encounters took place and the student officers 
were given every opportunity to develop proficiency in patrol and interior 
guard duty. When the battle was over and the sun came out in the morning, 
the Illinois regiment had taken nine prisoners and the Michigan-Wisconsin 
regiment three. 

Day after day through that week, day work and night watching was 
repeated, until every man had been at both several times and until five miles 
of completed trenches with bridges and barb-wire entanglements stretched 
across drill grounds and woods beyond. 

A former attorney from the Michigan Telephone Company had labored 

long and earnestly with 
his squad in the con¬ 
struction of a “dugout’’ 
and, though tired and 
muddy, was taking 
comfort in the thought 
that his job was nearly 
completed. 

The captain came 
along and, after look¬ 
ing things over, smiled 
pleasantly. The rookie 
lawyer misunderstood 
the smile of approval 
and said, “Pretty good 
job, sir.” “Yes,” said 
the officer, “as far as it 
goes. When you get 
that finished you can 
start on your communi¬ 
cating trenches.” 

The rooky’s face 
rapidly registered in¬ 
credulity — then the 
shock of surprise—then 
disgust and, as the cap¬ 
tain walked away, he 
remarked, “What’s the

use of digging six feet of trench six feet deep, just for communications, when 

a telephone wire would give quicker and better service and be a darn sight 
easier to rig up?” 

Another younger man who had never dug very hard at anything before 
and whose idea of training to be an officer had been gained largely from 
colored posters, was heard to remark, “What’s the use of my learning to do 
this. I could get a Dago to do this better than I could for a few dollars a day 
and it will cost me more than that to get fixed up after this mess.” 

But for the majority of the men it was the first real entrance into the 
hardships of war. Many had been engaged at home in sedentary occupations 
and the terrific change had been a real test and the way the men stood up to it 
was a foretaste of the way thousands of them stood up to the eventual gruelling 
test in the front lines of the Argonne. 

There were a lot of things that came out of the trenches besides mud 
and weary men at the close ofAhat week. One was poetry. Listen to this: 
of the Fifteenth Company, 2nd Regiment: 

‘‘Who is this guy whose last name is Day, 

And where in h-1 did he come from? 

He’s big and strong and tall, they say, 

And wears a considerable ‘tum-tum.’ 

He is the feller who walks along the top, 

While we’re digging below in the mud, 

And shouts out his orders with not a stop, 

In tones that fair thrills your blood. 

It may be, at heart, he’s a regular guy, 

But he'll have to prove it to us, 

Cause since he’s been running along there in high, 

He’s done nothing but make us all cuss.” 

An event of unusual interest after the work in the trenches was the arrival 
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The famous Roosevelt smile illuminated 
his face as he greeted the representatives of the Camp at the station. 

He was escorted through the Camp and then inspected the trenches. 
He exhibited a great interest in every detail of construction and asked many 
questions of the officers who conducted him. 

Standing on the brink of the gully and looking over toward the lake, he 
gave utterance to one of his explosive thoughts: 

What we need,” he said, “is a hydraulic engineer at work in Northern 
France. How easy it would be to take the water from the coast and transfer 
it over to the German trenches and force them out by hydraulic pressure.” 

Some who had seen water at work during the previous week realized that 
there was something more than humor in his suggestion. 

After a thorough inspection, he was escorted to the parade ground, 
where a large reviewing stand had been erected. The band began playing, 
the candidate officers passed in review. At the conclusion the men advanced 
in mass formation and stood at attention while he addressed them. 




























THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


357 


He stood there that day the living embodiment of American valor. A 
real fighting man, still affected by the refusal of the War Department to let 
him go to France with a fighting division, he referred to this early in his 
remarks when he said: 

For us, this opportunity is denied; the supreme privilege is yours. 
It is our duty to back up at home the fighting men at the front in every 
way we can. It is our duty to keep the spirit alive and burning and vic¬ 
tory will come speedily, and, Lord, men, how I wish I were going 
with you! 

Every man feels that the war should go on and once for all remove 
the menace of Prussianism and the iron and bloody rule of the Hohen- 
zollerns forever. Yours is the honor of going. You will not have to 
explain to your children why you did not go to war. This is the great 
chance. Be equal to it. You are the flower of our country chosen for 
this great task. It is a great opportunity and a great responsibility. 

The British and French are fighting our battles and we are their 
debtors. Your duty is to go forth as missionaries, and when you have 
awakened this country from its lazy, opulent slumber, see that you keep 
it awake forever. See that we are never again put in the position we 
are now, of vast, lazy strength unmobilized. The men of France and 
England are protecting us with their bodies. Let us, here, in the first 
place make America safe. We owe a big debt to the Allies in this war, 
and I say again, be missionaries, so that never again shall we be so help¬ 
less to defend our honor. Never again should we owe our safety to the 
blood of others. The one step for our protection is universal obligatory 
military training for all our young men. 



MARTIN DELANEY COACHING RIGHT AND LEFT JABS 







358 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 



EVERY ONE GOT A PUNCH 

It is significant that with the coming of Roosevelt there should also come 
the period of “boxing.” The introduction of mass boxing at Fort Sheridan 
for the first time in any large way in any American Army camp paved the 
way for its larger use throughout the whole army. 

After a conference between Colonel Ryan, Major Bach and others, the 
Commanding Officer purchased two hundred sets of gloves, secured the serv¬ 
ices of Martin Delaney, Athletic Director of the Chicago Athletic Club, and 
gave orders that for three weeks every company in the Camp was to report 
daily for boxing practice. 

It looked mild. It seemed like a soft game, the first morning the com¬ 
panies marched out and surrounded the reviewing stand. Some smiled and 
anticipated a restful lark. Then a man stood on the stand and began to 
walk around, leaning over the protecting rail. He talked and gesticulated in 
in such a way that the men knew he was there for business. Then four boys 
from the Great Lakes Training Station took their places on the stand—pro¬ 
fessionals who knew the game, both of them. They went through some simple 
maneuvers—then there was a rush of gloves. The stand was surrounded on 
four sides by men who looked like boxers. They were paired off. These 
were made to follow the simple movements of the boxers. Oh, my!—who 
doesn’t remember what happened? Delaney let the rookies take the lid off 
and every man seemed to think that he was fighting in France. Did they 
go after each other. We’ll say they did. Black eyes, broken noses and

cracked ribs. Husky six-footers from first squads, unfamiliar with boxing, 
taking their medicine from light little fellows from the last squad. All in a 
good spirit, developing faster footwork, quickness of eye and the habit of 
personal encounter. 

For three weeks this continued, each man in the Camp having fifteen 
minutes a day practice in the field and additional time as they were able in 
the barracks. At the close of the course the improvement was marked, and 
many of the men handled themselves like veterans. 

Fort Sheridan men of the Second Camp will not forget Martin Delaney 
with his wholesome smile, his winning style and his walloping punch, and the 
army as a whole was the gainer by the successful course which was early 
introduced in the training system. 

Numerous speakers came to Fort Sheridan, each bringing a message of 
interest. Samuel Insull spoke of the qualities necessary for leadership. Ser¬ 
geant William Dugan, formerly of the Foreign Legion, and at the time a 
member of the La Fayette Escadrille, told of his experiences as an American 
boy in the famous French flying unit. T. P. O’Connor and others spoke 
from time to time. 

The daily routine of work, taking in every hour of the day, increased 
in intensity as the man became hardened to it. Physical and bayonet drills, 
pistol and rifle practice, conference and studies, followed each other with 
ceaseless regularity. 

The companies were becoming more proficient in drill. They were 
developing that pride and esprit de corps which makes competition between 
the groups helpful and progressive. The men were becoming better neigh¬ 
bors. Real friendships and interesting acquaintances which would outlast 
the war were being formed. 

A report from one of the companies when the Camp was a month old 
was typical of the Camp as a whole. It is reproduced exactly as it appeared 
in “The Reveille,” because it shows how many different kinds of men went 
to make up a company: 

From clergyman to bookkeeper in a shooting gallery are over 70 
occupations stringing out in either column or line formation. Men who 
never performed harder labor than winding a Victrola are in the same 
squad with instructors of athletics. One civilian is attached to the com¬ 
pany, William J. Ryan, clerk, and his ambition is to take on enough 
weight to fill an O. D. blouse. 

Charles E. Davanon is top sergeant and is the real goods. He 
doesn’t give a continental care whether Cleopatra was a real nice lady 
or not; he is interested only in the strict discipline of his company. 

George O. Beebe is the only Regular Army man on our roster. 
Five in the company are enlisted men in the National Guard. They are: 
Leslie F. Eggert, Homer A. Goddard, Raymond O. Staten, Noble W. 
White and Stephen C. Williams. 

Thomas E. Hefferan, until a few weeks before the opening of this 
Camp, was a member of the American Ambulance Service in France. 

Alfred D. Allen is the manager of the Leland Hotel of Springfield, 
Ill., the rendezvous of politicians.

Nelson P. Parkinson and Murray C. Wilson are a team of good 
fellows that contribute much to the feeling of good fellowship that per¬ 
meates the company barracks. 

A company like this could not be without insurance men. Like the 
devil, they are always with us: Charles P. Shaw, Frank D. Henry, 
Harold J. Payette and Richard M. Lewis look after the fire risks; Robert 
Johnson specilizes in life. 

The worst, however, is yet to come. We have newspaper men here 
and they are in the open; no camouflage in the make-up. Norman W. 
Gregg is an editor, Donald G. Heinly is with a trade journal. 

In the summer the activities of the Camp were interspersed by the coming 
and going of friends. Many of the men’s families came from distances to stay 
in surrounding towns. Every evening at five the company streets would be 
filled with sight-seers and from five to seven-thirty there was a constant coming 
and going of mothers, wives and others; and on Sunday nights the roads 
would be crowded with cars bringing the men back before taps sounded. 

Much of this disappeared at the Second Camp. The weather was raw 
and cold. Great numbers of the men came from long distances. Sixty per 
cent were married men with families. Much of the social life so prominent in 
the First Camp was absent. But not the good times, which will always be 
mingled in the minds of the officer students with the intensive training and 
hard work. 

There was the Charity Ball, the proceeds of which went to army relief. 
The gymnasium wouldn’t hold the great crowds that came. It was the first 
military ball for most of the men and one that will linger a long time in the 
memory of all there. 

There was the trip to the World Series in Chicago. Just as soon as it 
was evident that the White Sox would win the American League champion¬ 
ship, a wire went from Fort Sheridan to the National Baseball Commission 
requesting that 2,500 tickets be set aside for the men who were in training. 
Soon an answer came back that 1,500 had been reserved. These 1,500 were 
divided between the thirty companies. And each company drew to see what 
men should go. The result was that there were 1,500 successful contestants. 
Leave was given for the day. Special cars conveyed the men to the grounds. 
Colonel Ryan and Staff attending. Long before the game began they were 
all seated in the right field balcony and the game was on. For many it was 
the first World Series game. It was a good one, well played, and resulted 
in a win for the West and the White Sox. 

To some unfamiliar with the work that was done and had to be done 
daily, these occasional excursions seemed to be somewhat outside the prepara¬ 
tions for war—but to those who had in mind well-rounded, good-spirited, 
physically-fit leaders for the National Army, they all played their part. 

There was always a deep earnestness about the work done and the plans 
and thoughts for the future, but an entire absence of drab and pessimistic or 
unnatural attitude toward life. It was the studied effort of those who were 
responsible for the morale of the Camp to see that there was a proper balanc¬ 
ing of work and recreation, so that the best results of the work might be 
always kept to the front.

In this connection nothing was more interesting to the former civilian 
than the part that “Rumors” play in army life. The newcomer in the army 
is quickly shut off from the matters which interested him before. Sometimes 
he will go for weeks without reading papers carefully and what he reads is 
of little interest. His mind narrows down to the confines of the Camp, the 
doings in the company, and to insignificant matters that he would have smiled 
at weeks before. 

Corporal H meets Private A while they are shaving in the washroom. 
“The Colonel called the Captain to Headquarters,” says the Corporal. 

What s doing? says the Private. I hear they are only going to commission 
20 per cent of the men from each company,” says the Corporal. Then the 
rumor gets busy, runs up and down the barracks, across the company street, 
and finally gets down to headquarters a huge-sized tornado, with Corporal H 
and Private A oblivous of the storm. Then the Commanding Officer nails 
that one. 

Private X, in a fit of anger because some one sat on his bunk, messed it 
up and brought him a reprimand, swears in German, forgetting for the time 
being how hard he has tried to keep the fact that his ancestors were Germans 
in the background. That was enough. Private Y starts “old rumor” a-going 
that there are German spies in the companies. Some one sees a man who 
looks like Private X being taken away from the guardhouse to Chicago by 
the military police. Another finds that there is a small amount of dynamite 
laid away in the Arsenal and “Rumor” is off again with a “wholesale con¬ 
spiracy of German spies to blow up the Camp, and a wonderful capture by 
the army intelligence department.” 

Here is a series of conflicting rumors from one mess hall on the subject 
of commissions and the time the Camp would close—a favorite subject of 
conversation and the parent of prolific rumors: 

(a) That the Camp will be over November 7th. 

(b) That the Camp will be over October 2 7th. 

(c) That the Camp will be over November 27th. 

(d) That those commissioned will receive six week’s more training 
at Fort Sheridan. 

(e) That very few will be commissioned. 

(f) That most of the candidates will be commissioned. 

(g) That those commissioned will be rushed to France. 

(h) That practically none of those commissioned will get to France 
in less than six months. 

(i) And other reports. 

Some less serious and more interesting are starting all the time. Men 
are sitting on the edges of their bunks with staring eyes, listening to each 
new report. It is the life—and twice welcome the man who can bring some 
word from overhead that will give them a chance to build a new one. Who 
cares or remembers that nine out of ten are without sense and never come 
true? They gave a sensation greater than a murder, a cyclone or a mighty 
victory in France, because they ran right into the place where the men lived.

No one will ever know, unless they were in it, how quickly and utterly the 
men who were in training were cut off from the civil life with which they had 
lately been so familiar. 

Just to show what the Second Fort Sheridan Camp could do in the way 
of selling bonds, Colonel Ryan called together representatives from each 
regiment with the following result: The First Regiment sold $ 1,1 08,1 00, the 
Second $526,250, and the Third $3,027,700, making a total sale of 
$4,700,000 for the Camp, or three times as much as any army camp or can¬ 
tonment in America. 

The schedule for the seventh week, when the work was practically half 
through, was as follows:

°n other occasion Governor Sleeper of Michigan, Governor Phillips of 
Wisconsin and Governor Capper of Kansas were present and spoke to the 
student officers. Many other notables came out to visit the Camp. General 
Alvarado Obregon, conqueror of Pancho Villa at the battle of Celago and 
one of the foremost soldiers of Mexico, was the guest of Colonel Ryan. 


In the company of Colonel Ryan, who is a personal friend of General 
bregon, the Mexican chieftain spent several hours reviewing the drills and 
inspecting cantonments and trenches. He constantly expressed his delight and 
astonishment at the progress made by the rookies. 


... r N ° ° ne Wh ° eVer SaW Federal J ud g a Kenesaw Landis at Fort Sheridan 
will forget it. His son. Reed Landis, entered the First Camp and was trans¬ 
ferred with others to the aviation section, where he made a reputation of 
which every Fort Sheridan man is proud. Judge Landis got down to brass 
tacks immediately, just as he does in his court. He was not satisfied to look 
on. He went through the communicating trenches, ignored the mud, climbed 
over obstacles and investigated lookout stations and dugouts and saw things 
as they were. He had a word of kindly interest for all. Just wanted to be 
one of the men and to get into the game. 


A notable group of Chicago men were constant visitors to Fort Sheridan 
and did much to help make the Camp a success. Among them may be named 
Samuel Insull, Chairman State Council of Defense; Charles Wacker, Col. H 
M. Byllesby, Roger Sullivan, John P. Hopkins, H. H. Merrick, Frederick W. 
Upham, Arthur Meeker, John P. Stockton and Samuel Hastings.

THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


These men, with others from Lake Forest, Highland Park and surround¬ 
ing towns were not merely casual visitors but backed up every effort that 
needed help from outside the Camp to make it successful. 

The Commanding Officer and all the students at Fort Sheridan will re¬ 
member the splendid paper published by Mr. Lew Merrill and his partners 
under the name of the Reveille. This paper appeared weekly and was full of 
good illustrations, fine selections of material and attractive articles which 
invariably added to the interest and training of the men. There were never 
enough to supply the big demand and eagerness to get the paper increased as 
the Camp went on. Mr. Merrill preserved a great many of the records of the 
Camp in the Reveille which have been largely used in this article. 

In the eighth week the rookies repeated their war game in the trenches. 
The question as to which army was finally victorious will probably be a subject 
for student argument as long as the Camp is remembered. 

The following account appeared in the Reveille: 

Exact battle conditions, as they exist on the Western Front, have 
been reproduced as faithfully as possible and the rifle fire, coupled with 
the salvos of the batteries delivering their barrage fire, has kept up con¬ 
tinuously night and day. 

Each company was in the trenches for thirty-six hours at a stretch, 
eating, sleeping and living exactly as they expect to live later on in the 
European battlefields. 

At 1 1 o’clock every night, G. M. Martin and his staff of Y. M. C. A. 
workers, carried cans of steaming coffee and sandwiches through the 
winding communicating trenches to the dugouts and shelters and were 
welcomed with subdued shouts of joy by the men who had been so val¬ 
iantly defending their respective positions. 

There was little chance for sleep during the thirty-six hour periods 
that the men were in the trenches. Amid the crash and roar of artillery 
and the fusillade of rifle shots every man was on the alert. The wide 
expanse of No Man’s Land at night was lit up by the fitful radiance of the 
flares and the red and white rockets which were signals for barrage fire 
to break up attacking raids. 

In conformity with the plans of Colonel Ryan, Major Cromwell 
Stacey, senior instructor, who personally spent the nights in observation, 
no detail was omitted to make it a real war game for the candidate 
officers. 

The grim determination of the m,en and their alertness in the face 
of driving rains and raw night winds excited the admiration of their 
commanders. 

“The work this week was marked by steady improvement,’’ said 
Colonel Ryan yesterday. “The first night the men were not so keen, 
but there was steady progress noted throughout the succeeding days. 
The failure of the attacks to reach the first line Wednesday night was due 
to the keenness of the sentinels, the excellent work of standing patrols and 
the perfect system of communicating signals which enabled a barrage fire 
to be delivered in one minute and reinforcements to be supplied im¬ 
mediately. 

“The earnestness of the men, shown in carrying out the work in the 
trenches is another manifestation of the ^eal and determination which 
permeates this Second Officers’ Training Camp. The showing that the 
men made during the week proved very gratifying to me.” 




THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


373 


The men deployed in good shape and came up in good shape,” 
said Major Stacey, senior instructor. “There has been marked improve¬ 
ment all the way through, especially in patrolling. The men have learned 
the value of silence, both in patrolling and defense work. The relief of 
the trenches was carried out without a hitch and it is the intention of the 
instructors that they will get the same movement during the twelfth week 
at midnight, instead of at 12 noon, as was the case last week. 

“The men are getting a very good idea of trench duties and above 
all are learning to take care of themselves. 

“This trench week has been very instructive to the men and 
splendid progress has been shown all along the line.” 

One incident of special interest was the coup executed Monday night 
by Captain James Woolnough of the Illinois battalion. 

Penetrating dense thickets in the murk long before dawn, he ad¬ 
vanced his companies right up to Michigan’s barbed wire and dug kneel¬ 
ing shelter. Two hours elapsed before the defenders of Fort Sheridan’s 
trenches knew what had happened, but by that time Woolnough was so 
strongly established that he was secure against everything but very accu¬ 
rate barrage fire. 

If supported, these trenches could be strengthened so as to make 
them impossible of capture. From them a deadly assault could be 
launched. 

Major Cromwell Stacey, senior instructor, was so enthusiastic about 
what the Illinois captain and his companies had done that, when they 
marched back to the huts during an armistice, he repeatedly yelled to 
them, “Bully work, men; bully work.” 

Michigan’s forces, under command of Captain R. G. Peck, “colonel” 
for the night, took over the five miles of trenches at seven in the evening. 
By 10:45 patrols of Major Farrand of the Michigan regiment discovered 
Captain Woolnough’s camp 600 yards to the southward. Colonel Peck 
ordered Captain James P. Marley to drive him out with artillery. 

All over the North Shore the bombardment could be heard. Umpire 
Lawrence Martin then proceeded to Woolnough‘s forces and told them 
they would have to evacuate. But instead of going backward, Wool¬ 
nough bided his time and crept forward, capturing all Michigan patrols 
that might reveal his maneuver. Then he dug in seventy-five yards in 
front of Michigan’s line. 

Woolnough had done so well that Chief Umpire Stacey decreed 
that he might have four more companies to support him shortly after 
3 a. m. Companies 17, 18, 19 and 20 were routed out of their barracks 
and, with full pack and under command of Captain X. F. Blauvelt, they 
detoured around Michigan’s west flank. 

Dawn found the support driving off a wave of two companies that 
Colonel Peck had sent over the top. 

Woolnough had scored heavily. “In the early part of the night 
patrolling on both sides was excellent,” said Major Stacey. 

“From midnight on up until 4 o’clock the patrolling of the Michigan 
forces fell off in efficiency. This enabled Illinois soldiers to creep through 
th,e bushes and intrench unmolested for two hours before they were posi¬ 
tively reported. 

“Small Michigan patrols sent out to investigate were captured by 
Illinois. Consequently the information that the Illinois battalion under 
Captain Woolnough was only 100 yards in front of the trenches digging 
in was not known until 3 a. m., at which time Captain Woolnough had 
sufficient cover to hold his position. 




























































THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


375 


The organization of the Michigan position, trench duties, liasion 
between the infantry and artillery barrage fir^e, the telephone system, 
claims of runners and signal rockets were managed so efficiently that little 
was left to be desired.’ 

On Tuesday they had maneuvered through the night as troops of 
the State of Michigan, which is at war with the State of Illinois. The 
heavy rain flooded boyaux, traverses and dugouts and parades and para¬ 
pet exuded a slimy ooze. 

Under command of Captain J. J. Wuest, acting as colonel for the 
night, Michigan s forces defended the trenches against the operations of 
hostile Illinois battalions in charge of Captain W. C. F. Nicholson. Ad¬ 
vancing from Evanston, Captain Nicholson bivouacked at Highwood. 

Patrols from both sides occasionally met in sharp contact. After 
making a demonstration on Michigan s left flank. Captain Nicholson, 
with Companies 12, 21, 22 and 23, rushed the trenches on Michigan’s 
right and center. Michigan sentries gave the signal for barrage from 
Captain Marley s batteries. In two minutes the guns began to roar, but 
in that interval three of Nicholson’s companies managed to seize a sector 
of Michigan’s front line. 

Major Farrand, in Michigan’s second line trenches, ordered a coun¬ 
ter charge over the top and Nicholson was dislodged. Then Colonel 
Wuest ordered the artillery to sweep the entire front and Illinois was 
routed. 

“Captain Nicholson’s approach from Highwood was well managed,’’ 
said Colonel Ryan, who was an all-night spectator. “The momentary* 
occupation of the Michigan front line by Captain Nicholson was made 
possible because of a single barbed wire entanglement. Entanglements 
would not have been crossed so easily if actual war conditions existed. 

“The lesson here is that no enemy could have gotten in under real 
war conditions, and one notable thing that developed in the repulsion of 
Nicholson’s troops was the charge over the top. That showed very good 
tactical judgment, as Major Farrand’s action enabled him quickly to 
move a large force which could not have been done if the troops had 
been sent forward through the trenches.” 

Real music, the best in the country, was brought to Fort Sheridan. It 
had to be good, for there were hundreds of rookies there who, as producers, 
artists and critics, could maintain highest standards. 

The first big musicale was given by the Paulist Choir, Father Flynn con¬ 
ducting. This great chorus with its international reputation, sang one Sunday 
night to a crowded gymnasium full of student officers. 

Those who were there will not forget either the beautiful singing or the 
close appreciative attention of the audience. Somehow music seemed to have 
a big place in men’s emotions those days. Someone versed in national psy¬ 
chology will explain why war and music seem to be so close in their inter¬ 
dependence. 

Both those who sang and those who listened seemed to feel music with 
a new forcefulness. Perhaps it filled some lonely places in their hearts— 
perhaps it soothed emotions that had been overstrained or satisfied feelings 
which could not be spoken in words. 

At least those black vestments of this wonderful chorus—the sweet voices 
of the boys and the strong voices of the men made a deep impression upon

those hundreds of upturned faces, with the dull brown of the khaki as a back¬ 
ground. Those who had seen them at the boxing and bayonet practice and 
who might later see some of these men in the trenches in France could say 
truly, Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. 

Later the Chicago Symphony Orchestra came for an evening. The stage 
was enlarged—several truck loads of instruments were brought to Fort Sheri¬ 
dan. When the doors of the Gymnasium were opened that Sunday evening at 
6 P. M. the hall was soon crowded and then, by an arrangement with the 
orchestra, those who could not get in at the first concert were given a chance 
to hear several numbers afterward. 

No one will forget the wonderful music that night. Clyde M. Carr, the 
president of the Association; Mr. Frederick J. \Vessels, the manager, and Mr. 
Frederick Stock, the conductor, as well as hundreds of old friends, said they 
never heard the orchestra play as it did that night. The audience was carried 
away by the music and the musicians were lifted out of the mechanical by the 
appreciation of their audience. 

The following program was rendered: 

1. Overture to “Rienzi”, Wagner. 

2. Andante molto moto (By the Brook), from Symphony, “Pas¬ 
torale”, Beethoven. 

3. Meditation from “Thais”, Massenet. (Violin obligato bv Mr. 
Harry Weisbach.) 

4. Capriccio Espagnol, Opus 34, Rimsky-Korsakow; Alborada, 
Variations, Alborada, Scene and Gypsy Song, Fandango of the 
Asturias. (Played without pause.) 

5. Berceuse from “Jocelyn” Suite, Godard. (Violincello obligato 
by Mr. Bruno Steindel. 

6. Concert Waltz No. 1, Flazounow. 

7. Marche, “Slave”, Tschaikowsky. 

At the close Mr. Stock turned to the audience and said, “Now I will show 
you how we can play the American airs.” And they played. 

Such cheering. Time after time the audience rose to its feet, but no 
matter how loud the cheering, the mighty swing of the music carried above it 
all, and when the last note died out and the conductor turned and bowed, men 
realized that probably never again would they hear such music or such enthu¬ 
siasm combined under such circumstances throughout all their lives. 

What value has this in the training of soldiers? A value so great that in 
the near future the entire army adopted these methods, and spent millions of 
dollars to provide the best in order that they might keep the minds and spirits 
strong for the gruelling tests and the tiresome watches that weakens men’s 
force for leadership and battle. 

During the First and Second Camps the Y. M. C. A., under the direction 
of Mr. George Martin as General Secretary, did a splendid work for the stu¬ 
dent officers in training. 

The commanding officer expressed his appreciation in the following 
letter:

THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


“My dear Mr. Trude: During my tour of duty with the First Train¬ 
ing Camp at Fort Sheridan and since I have been in command of the 
Second Fort Sheridan Training Camp I have had occasion to observe the 
work of the Young Men’s Christian Association here. Their work has 
been of great assistance in instructing and guiding the welfare of the 
young men here, making provision for wholesome lectures, reading mate¬ 
rial, writing material and entertainments of various kinds. They have 
assisted in athletics and in every way have co-operated with the officers 
in command to create ideal moral atmosphere around these young men. 
Their tact, diplomacy and good will has won for them the admiration of 
every member of this Camp. Their work is democratic and universal in 
its effect upon these men and most beneficial.

25. Generous use of magazines and small games. 

26. Money orders written, $25,000 a month.

In addition the Knights of Columbus maintained a reading room in the 
Gymnasium under the supervision of Major E. J. Vattman, and the Y. M. C. 
A. had a rest room during the Second Camp in the southeast room of the 
Gymnasium. 

At the beginning of the Second Fort Sheridan Camp the Department of 
Morale was originated and organized. It was decided by the Commanding 
Officer that in addition to the welfare organizations mentioned, that there 
should be a definite department under the control of the Commanding Officer 
through which he could secure the best co-operation of all agencies as well as 
the commanders of companies and the men themselves, in order that there 
might be maintained the highest standard of morale. 

As outlined, the duty of the Director of Morale was to assist the instruct¬ 
ors in building up within their companies a spirit of harmony, an enthusiasm 
for their work, a clear conception of the motives in which the war was under¬ 
taken, a high standard of personal living and a definite sense of the large 
responsibilities of the officers in training and maintaining the morale of their 
companies in the new army. 

These directors worked in close harmony with the instructors and with 
all other agencies in the Camp. Their activities were particularly those within 
the company life, where they co-operated with the captains in every possible 
way. 

At first many of the men smiled at this new department in the service 
and those who were entrusted with the responsibility had to withstand their 
full share of good-natured bantering and witticisms. However, the idea of a 
Department of Morale as an integral part of an Army organization originating 
at this time eventually prevailed in the offices of the Secretary of War and was 
adopted as a Department of the Chief of Staff of the American Armies. 

The Commanding Officer had the satisfaction long after the Second Fort 
Sheridan Camp was closed of receiving an order which was sent to every 
division of the Army instructing them to appoint a Director of Morale for each 
division. Brigadier-General Munson, a Regular Army officer, was ordered to 
Washington and put in charge of this department. It operated in this country 
with a good deal of success in the camps and was the parent of the plan which 
developed after the armistice of placing all matters of welfare work in the 
Army directly in the control of the Commanding Officer. 

Not only did this department aim to give every man in the Camp the very 
best chance to make the most of his period of training, but in addition it organ¬ 
ized a course of training to familiarize the men of the companies with the best 
methods of taking care of the men under their command. Every Wednesday 
night a representative of each company met Colonel Ryan and the Director 
of Morale for an hour in the Gymnasium, at which time a discussion was held 
covering the four points of intellectual, physical, social and moral interests of 
the enlisted man.

At the close of the Camp the information brought together by each of 
these departments was embodied in book form, the foreword of which was 
written by Colonel Ryan, and which reads: 


Many books have been written on the training of enlisted men of 
our army most of which have dealt with the military side only. There is 
another side, the influence of which it quite as important in rounding out 
the soldiers training to make him the ideal among the Nation’s de- 


This book is sent forth as the results of the combined efforts of men 
of the Second Fort Sheridan Training Camp, to place in the hands of 
newly-commissioned officers, in concrete form, a system of solving the 
many problems they will meet in the development and training of the 
newly-formed regiments in the armies of the United States. It is believed 
that the benefits to be gained will increase in proportion to the spirit 
with wh ch it is accepted and applied. 

As far as we know this is one of the first books prepared by men in 
training covering the officer’s responsibility for his men, and while it may have 
seemed incomplete and amateurish to men who had had large experience in 
service, its spirit and courage carried it a long way. A single page covering 
the moral responsibility of the officer to his men will give a slight idea of the 
general bearing of the book upon personal problems. 


Moral quality and purpose underlie efficiency and reliability among 
the enlisted men. However strong men may be in other respects, without 
good morals they must ultimately break down. Whenever you find an 
enlisted man physically clean, intellectually alert, and vigorously alive, 
crecht it to his moral character. In the army moral qualities must be 
virile, positive and useful. The officer should reward such character with 
larger opportunities. He should try to develop larger moral strength 
among his men, by instruction and personal influence. 

n i A f e ! ebrated Englishman, speaking to troops during the present war, 
called their attention to the fact that the surgeon, before beginning an 
operation, makes sure that his instrument is antiseptically clean and can¬ 
not infect the body it is employed to relieve. “In like manner,’’ said the 
speaker, the army employed to cut the cancer of Autocracy and Militar¬ 
ism out of the social body must be composed of men who are physically 
and morally clean; lest m ridding the world of its loathsome cancer, it be 
infected with a virus more loathsome still.” 


Our soldiers carry the National reputation to the front. They must 
be kept clean; otherwise, not only the men, themselves, but our future 
American life to the third and fourth generation will be affected. 

Repressive measures are helpful to a certain degree only. We should 
give them reasonable support. Prohibition of drink, and regulations to 
keep camps and their environs free from immoral resorts and bad charac¬ 
ters, must be enforced. Civil authorities should be encouraged in making 
this condition effective in communities surrounding the camp. 

In the last analvsis, the whole matter of morals in the army comes 
down to the moral fibre of the man himself. A man of positive moral 
character will be safe even m an immoral environment; while a man lack¬ 
ing a moral recourse will seek and find opportunity for indulgence, how¬ 
ever repressive the measures adopted for his protection. This manual is 
prepared for the purpose of assisting the officer to build up personal 
character, as well as company spirit.

The other chapters dealt with the mental training of the enlisted man,— 
his physical condition and his recreation. Some of the contributions made by 
the delegates for the company to the weekly conference and later to the book 
showed how great the interest and determination was to play fair with this 
biggest of all problems. 

In their early training the majority of the men realized that if they were 
to have any success in creating efficient loyal soldiers, it would be in proportion 
to the thoughtful leadership, the spirit of consideration, the knowledge of their 
needs and the ability to care for them fairly and adequately. 

They came to realize that positive plans for the continuous development 
of the good spirit of their companies will accomplish far more in the long run 
than irregular attempts at severe discipline. 

Such consideration should not be given as a bait for popularity or as a 
substitute for intelligent leadership or necessary discipline and training. It 
should aim to build up a spirit around the commander and within the company 
which would furnish a wholesome influence to training in teamwork, a splen¬ 
did morale for battle, a condition where the failure or delinquency of men will 
so affect the rest of the company that personal discipline would not be 
necessary. 

Major Christian A. Bach, whose record at Fort Sheridan and afterwards 
as Chief of Staff of the Fourth Division in France, will always be one of the 
outstanding personalities of the war in the minds of all the men who served 
with him, expressed in simple yet imperishable form what a real soldier thought 
on this subject of leadership. 

In perpetuating his great address on Leadership in the records of the 
Fort Sheridan Training Camp, we believe we are doing a service to many a 
man who will read it again and who will realize that in times of peace, as in 
times of war, real leadership requires the very best a man possesses. 

Speaking in the Gymnasium shortly before the close of the Second Camp, 
Major Bach said: 

In a short time each of you men will control the lives of a certain 
number of other men. You will have in your charge a greater or less 
number of loyal, but untrained, citizens who look to you for instruction 
and guidance. Your word will be their law. Your most casual remark 
will be remembered. Your mannerisms will be aped. Your clothing, 
your carriage, your vocabulary, your manner of command will be imi¬ 
tated. When you join your organization you will find waiting for you, 
or you will receive, a willing body of men who ask from you nothing 
more than the qualities that will command their respect, their loyalty 
and their obedience. They are perfectly ready and eager to follow you 
so long as you can convince them that you have these qualities. When 
the time comes that they are satisfied you do not possess them, you might 
as well kiss yourself good-by. Your usefulness in that organization is at 
an end. 

From the standpoint of society, the world is divided into leaders 
and followers. The professions have their leaders, the financial world 
has its leaders. We have religious leaders and political leaders and 
society leaders. In all this leadership it is difficult, if not impossible, to 





384 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


separate from the element of pure leadership that selfish element of per¬ 
sonal gain or advantage to the individual, without which such leadership 
would lose its value. It is in the military service only where men freely 
sacrifice their lives for a faith, where men are willing to suffer and die for 
the right or the prevention of a great wrong, that we can hope to realize 
leadership in its highest, most exalted and disinterested sense. Therefore, 
when I say leadership, I mean military leadership. 

In a few days the great mass of you men will receive commissions 
as officers. These commissions will not make you leaders; they will 
merely make you officers. They will place you in a position where you 
can become leaders if you possess the proper attributes. But you must 
make good, not so much with the men over you as with the men 
under you. 

Men must and will follow into battle officers who are not leaders; 
but the driving power behind these men is not enthusiasm, but discipline. 
They go with doubt and trembling and with an awful fear tugging at 
their heart-strings that prompts the unspoken question, “What will he do 
next? Such men obey the letter of their orders, but no more. Of 
devotion to their commander; of exalted enthusiasm which scorns per¬ 
sonal risk; of their self-sacrifice to insure his personal safety, they know 
nothing. Their legs carry them forward because their brain and their 
training tell them they must go. Their spirit does not go with them. 
Great results are not achieved by cold, passsive, unresponsive soldiers. 
They don t go very far and they stop as soon as they can. Leadership 
not only demands, but receives, the willing, unhesitating, unfaltering 
obedience and loyalty of other men; and a devotion that will cause them, 
when the time comes, to follow their uncrowned king to hell and back 
again if necessary. 

You will ask yourselves, “Of just what, then, does leadership con¬ 
sist?” “What must I do to become a leader?” “What are the attributes 
of leadership and how can I cultivate them?” 

Leadership is a composite of a number of qualities. Among the 
most important 1 would list self-confidence, moral ascendency, self- 
sacrifice, paternalism, fairness, initiative, decision, dignity, courage. 

Let me discuss these with you in detail. 

Self-confidence results, first, from exact knowledge; second, the 
ability to impart that knowledge, and, third, the feeling of superiority 
over others that naturally follows. All these give the officer poise. 

To lead, you must know—you may bluff all your men some of the 
time, but you can’t do it all the time. Men will not have confidence in 
an officer unless he knows his business, and he must know it from the 
ground up. The officer should know more about paper work than his 
first sergeant and company clerk put together; he should know more 
about messing than his mess sergeant; more about diseases of the horse 
than his troop farrier. He should be at least as good a shot as any man 
in his company. If the officer does not know, and demonstrates the fact 
that he does not know, it is entirely human for the soldier to say to 
himself: “To hell with him; he doesn’t know as much about this as 

I do,” and calmly disregard the instructions received. There is no sub¬ 
stitute for accurate knowledge. Become so well informed that men will 
hunt you up to ask questions; that your brother officers will say to one 
another, “Ask Smith—he knows.” And not only should each officer 
know thoroughly the duties and responsibilities of his own grade, but 
he should study those of the two grades next above him. A two-fold 
benefit attaches to this. He prepares himself for duties'which may fall

to his lot at any time during battle; he further gains a broader viewpoint 
which enables him to appreciate the necessity for the issuance of orders 
and joins more intelligently in their execution. 

Not only must the officer know, but he must be able to put what 
he knows into grammatical, interesting, forceful English. He must learn 
to stand on his feet and speak without embarrassment. I am told that 
in British training camps student officers are required to deliver ten- 
minute talks on any subject they may choose. That is excellent practice. 
For to speak clearly, one must think clearly, and clear, logical thinking 
expresses itself in definite positive orders. While self-confidence is the 
result of knowing more than your men, moral ascendency is based upon 
your belief that you are the better man. To gain and maintain this 
ascendency you must have self-control, physical vitality and endurance 
and moral force. You must have yourself so well in hand that, even 
though in battle you be scared stiff, you will never show fear. For if 
you, by so much as a hurried movement or a trembling of the hands or a 
change of expression or a hasty order hastily revoked, indicate your 
mental condition, it will be reflected in your men in a far greater degree. 
In garrison or camp, many instances arise to try your temper and wreck 
the sweetness of your disposition. If at such time you “fly off the handle” 
you have no business to be in charge of men. For men in anger say and 
do things that they, almost invariably, regret afterwards. An officer 
should never apologize to his men; also, an officer should never be guilty 
of an act for which his sense of justice tells him he should apologize. 

Another element in gaining moral ascendency lies in the possession 
of enough physical vitality and endurance to withstand the hardships 
to which you and your men are subjected and a dauntless spirit that 
enables you to not only accept them cheerfully, but to minimize their 
magnitude. Make light of your troubles, belittle your trials, and you 
will help vitally to build up within your organization an esprit whose 
value in time of stress cannot be measured. 

Moral force is the third element in gaining moral ascendency. To 
exert moral force you must live iclean; you must have sufficient brain 
power to see the right and the will to do the right. Be an example to 
your men. An officer can be a power for good or a power for evil. 
Don’t preach to them—that will be worse than useless. Live the kind 
of a life you would have them lead and you will be surprised to see the 
number that will imitate you. A loud-mouthed, profane captain, who 
is careless of his personal appearance, will have a loud-mouthed, pro¬ 
fane, dirty company. Remember what I tell you. Your company will 
be the reflection of yourself. If you have a rotten company it will be 
because you are a rotten captain. 

Self-sacrifice is essential to leadership. You will give; give all the 
time. You will give of yourself physically, for the longest hours, the 
hardest work and the greatest responsibility is the lot of the captain. He 
is the first man up in the morning and the last man in at night. He 
works while others sleep. You will give of yourself mentally, in sym¬ 
pathy and appreciation for the troubles of men in your charge. This 
one’s mother has died and that one hast lost all his savings in a bank 
failure. They may desire help, but more than anything else they desire 
sympathy. Don’t make the mistake of turning such men down with the 
statement that you have troubles of your own. For every time that you 
do you knock a stone out of the foundation of your house. Your men 
are your foundation, and your house of leadership will tumble about 
your ears unless it rests securely upon them. Finally, you will give of 



THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP

your own slender financial resources. You will frequently spend your 
own money to conserve the health and well being of your men or to 
assist them when in trouble. Generally you get your money back. Very 
frequently you must charge it to profit and loss. 

When I say that paternalism is essential to leadership I use the 
term in its better sense. I do not now refer to that form of paternalism 
which robs men of initiative, self-reliance and self-respect. I refer to 
the paternalism that manifests itself in a watchful case for the comfort 
and welfare of those in your charge. Soldiers are much like children. 
You must see that they have shelter, food and clothing, the best that 
your utmost efforts can provide. You must see that they have food to 
eat before you think of your own; that they have each as good a bed as 
can be provided before you consider where you will sleep. You must 
be far more solicitous of their comfort than of your own. You must look 
after their health. You must conserve their strength by not demanding 
needless exertion or useless labor. And by doing all these things you 
are breathing into life what would otherwise be a man machine. You 
are creating a soul in your organization that will make the mass respond 
to you as though it were one man. And that is esprit. And when your 
organization has this esprit you will wake up some morning and discover 
that the tables have been turned; that instead of your constantly look¬ 
ing out for them, they have, without even a hint from you, taken up 
the task of looking out for you. You will find that a detail is always 
there to see that your tent, if you have one, is promptly pitched; that 
the most and the cleanest bedding is brought to your tent; that from 
some mysterious source two eggs have been added to your supper when 
no one else had any; that an extra man is helping your stryker to give 
your horse a super-grooming; that your wishes are anticipated; that 
every man is Johnny on the spot.” And then you have arrived. 

Fairness is another element without which leadership can neither 
be built up nor maintained. There must be, first, that fairness which 
treats all men justly. I do not say alike, for you cannot treat all men 
alike—that would be assuming that all men are cut from the same 
piece; that there is no such thing as individuality or a personal equa¬ 
tion. You cannot treat all men alike; a punishment that would be dis¬ 
missed by one man with a shrug of the shoulders is mental anguish for 
another. A company commander who for a given offense has a standard 
punishment that applies to all is either too indolent or too stupid to 
study the personality of his men. In his case justice is certainly blind. 
Study your men as carefully as a surgeon studies a difficult case. And 
when you are sure of your diagnosis, apply the remedy. And remember 
that you apply the remedy to effect a cure; not merely to see the victim 
squirm. It may be necessary to cut deep; but when you are satisfied as 
to your diagnosis don’t be diverted from your purpose by any false 
sympathy for the patient. 

Hand in hand with fairness in awarding punishment walks fairness 
in giving credit. Everybody hates a human hog. When any one of 
your men has accomplished an especially creditable piece of work see 
that he gets his proper reward. 

Turn heaven and earth upside down to get it for him. Don’t try 
to take it away from him and hog it for yourself. You may do this and 
get away with it, but you have lost the respect and loyalty of your men. 
Sooner or later, your brother officers will hear of it and shun you like a 
leper. In war there is glory enough for all. Give the man under you his 
due. The man who always takes and never gives is not a leader. He 
is a parasite. 





388 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


There is another kind of fairness—that which will prevent an officer 
from abusing the privileges of his rank. When you exact respect from 
soldiers, be sure you treat them with equal respect. Build up their man¬ 
hood and self-respect. Don’t try to pull it down. For an officer to be 
overbearing and insulting in the treatment of enlisted men is the act of a 
coward. He ties the man to a tree with the ropes of discipline and then 
strikes him in the face, knowing full well that the man cannot strike back. 
Consideration, courtesy and respect from officers toward enlisted men are 
not incompatible with discipline; they are part of our discipline. 

Without initiative and decision no man can expect to lead. In ma¬ 
neuvers, you will frequently see, when an emergency arises, certain men 
calmly give instant orders, which later, on analysis, prove to be, if not 
exactly the right thing, very nearly the right thing to have done. You 
will see other men in emergency, become badly rattled; their brains 
refuse to work, or they give a hasty order, revoke it, give another, revoke 
that; in short, show every indication of being in a blue funk. Regarding 
the first man you may say: “That man is a genius. He hasn’t had time to 
reason this thing out. He acts intuitively.’’ Forget it. Genius is merely 
the capacity for taking infinite pains. The man who was ready is the man 
who has prepared himself. He has studied beforehand the possible situa¬ 
tions that might arise; he has made tentative plans covering such situa¬ 
tions. When he is confronted by the emergency, he is ready to meet it. 
He must have sufficient mental alertness to appreciate the problem that 
confronts him and the power of quick reasoning to determine what 
changes are necessary in his already formulated plan. He must have also 
the decision to order the execution and stick to his order. Any reason¬ 
able order in an emergency is better than no order. The situation is 
there. Meet it. It is better to do something and do the wrong thing than 
to hesitate, hunt around for the right thing to do and wind up by doing 
nothing at all. And having decided on a line of action, stick to it. Don’t 
vacillate. Men have no confidence in an officer who doesn’t know his 
own mind. Occasionally you will be called upon to meet a situation 
which no reasonable human being could anticipate. If you have prepared 
yourselves to meet other emergencies which you could anticipate, the 
mental training you have thereby gained will enable you to act promptly 
and with calmness. You must frequently act without orders from higher 
authority. Time will not permit you to wait for them. Here again enters 
the importance of studying the work of the officers above you. If you 
have a comprehensive grasp of the entire situation and can form an idea 
of the general plan of your superiors, that and your previous emergency 
training will enable you to determine that the responsibility is yours and 
to issue the necessary orders without delay. 

The element of personal dignity is important in military leadership. 
Be the friend of your men, but do not become their intimate. Your men 
should stand in awe of you; not fear. If your men presume to become 
familiar, it is your fault, not theirs. Your actions have encouraged them 
to do so. And above all things don’t cheapen yourself by courting their 
friendship or currying their favor. They will despise you for it. If you 
are worthy of their loyalty and respect and devotion they will surely give 
all these without asking. If you are not, nothing that you can do will win 
them. 

It is exceedingly difficult for an officer to be dignified while wearing 
a dirty, spotted uniform and a three days’ stubble of whiskers on his face. 
Such a man lacks self-respect and self-respect is an essential of dignity. 
There may be occasions when your work entails dirty clothes and an un¬ 
shaven face. Your men all look that way. At such times there is ample 



THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 


389 


reason for your appearance. In fact, it would be a mistake to look too 
clean they would think that you were not doing your share. But as 
soon as this unusual occasion has passed, set them an example of personal 
neatness. 

And then I would mention courage. Moral courage you need as 
well as physical courage. That kind of moral courage which enables you 
to adhere without faltering to a determined course of action which your 
judgment has indicated as the one best suited to secure the desired result. 
You will find many times, especially in action, that, after having issued 
your orders to do a certain thing, you will be beset by misgivings and 
doubts; you will see or think you see other and better means for accom¬ 
plishing the object sought. You will be strongly tempted to change your 
orders. Don t do it until it is clearly manifested that your first orders 
were radically wrong. For, if you do, you will be again worried by 
doubts as to the efficacy of your second orders. Every time you change 
your orders without obvious reason you weaken your authority and impair 
the confidence of your men. Have the moral courage to stand by your 
order and see it through. 

Moral courage further demands that you assume the responsibility 
for your own acts. If your subordinates have loyally carried out your 
orders and the movement you directed is a failure, the failure is yours, 
not theirs. Yours would have been the honor, had it been successful. 
Take the blame if it results in disaster. Don’t try to shift it to a subor¬ 
dinate and make him the goat. That is a cowardly act. 

Furthermore, you will need moral courage to determine the fate of 
those under you. You will frequently be called upon for recommenda¬ 
tions for the promotion or demotion of officers and N. C. O. in your 
immediate command. Keep clearly in mind your personal integrity and 
the duty you owe your country. Do not let yourself be deflected from a 
strict sense of justice by feelings of personal friendship. If your own 
brother is the second lieutenant and you find him unfit to hold the com¬ 
mission, eliminate him. If you don’t, your lack of moral courage may 
result in the loss of valuable lives. If, on the other hand, you are called 
upon for a recommendation concerning a man whom, for personal rea¬ 
sons, you dislike, do not fail to do him full justice. Remember that your 
aim is the general good, not the satisfaction of an individual grudge. 

I am taking it for granted that you have physical courage. I need 
not tell you how necessary that is. 

Courage is more than bravery. Bravery is fearlessness—the absence 
of fear. The merest dolt may be brave because he lacks the mentality to 
appreciate his danger; he doesn’t know enough to be afraid. Courage, 
however, is that firmness of spirit, that moral backbone which, while fully 
appreciating the danger involved, nevertheless goes on with the undertak¬ 
ing. Bravery is physical courage, is mental and moral. You may be 
cold all over, your hands may tremble, your legs may quake, your knees 
be ready to give way—that is fear. If nevertheless you go forward, if in 
spite of this physical defection you continue to lead your men against the 
enemy, you have courage. The physical manifestations of fear will pass 
away. You may never experience them but once. They are the “buck 
fever” of the hunter who tries to shoot his first deer. You must not give 
way to them. 

A number of years ago, while taking a course in demolitions, the 
class of which I was a member, was handling dynamite. The instructor 
said, regarding its manipulation, “I must caution you gentlemen to be 




390 


THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 


careful in the use of these explosives. One man has but one accident.” 
And so I would caution you. If you give way to the fear that will doubt¬ 
less beset you in your first action; if you show the white feather; if you 
let your men go forward while you hunt a shell-crater, you will never 
again have the opportunity of leading those men. 

Use judgment, in calling on your men for displays of physical cour¬ 
age or bravery. Don’t ask any man to go where you would not go your¬ 
self. If your common sense tells you that the place is too dangerous for 
you to venture into, then it is too dangerous for him. You know his life 
is as valuable to him as yours is to you. Occasionally some of your men 
must be exposed to danger which you cannot share. A message must be 
taken across a fire-swept zone. You call for volunteers. If your men 
know you, and know that you are “right” you will never lack volunteers; 
for they will know your heart is in your work, that you are giving your 
country the best you have, that you would willingly carry the message 
yourself if you could. Your example and enthusiasm will have inspired 
them. 

And lastly, if you aspire to leadership, I would urge you to study 
men. Get under their skins, and find out what is inside. Some men are 
quite different from what they appear to be on the surface. Determine 
the workings of their minds. Much of General Robert E. Lee’s success 
as a leader may be ascribed to his ability as a psychologist. He knew 
most of his opponents from West Point days; knew the workings of their 
minds. He believed that they would do certain things under certain 
circumstances. In nearly every case, he was able to anticipate their 
movements and block the execution. You cannot know your opponents 
in this war, in the same way. But you can know your own men. You 
can study each to determine wherein lies his strength and his weakness. 
Which man can be relied upon to the last gasp and which cannot. Know 
your men, know your business, know yourself. 

Only three weeks remained. Early in November there had been a fall 
of snow. The men were kept out of the trenches and off the ranges, but 
doubled up in lectures and study. 

Three Friday nights were set aside for entertainments by the men. It was 
explained by the Commanding Officer that the work was compulsory and a 
part of their training. 

The first was a minstrel show given by the members of the Kansas- 
Colorado-Missouri Regiment. Following is the program: 

1. Opening Chorus—Medley, arranged by Candidate Booth, Fifteenth 
Battery. 

2. Solo—“Joan of Arc,” Candidate Payne, Eighth Company.

Tableau. 

The next week a vaudeville show was given by the Michigan-Wisconsin 
Regiment under the direction of Candidate Frank R. Adams, formerly of 
Hough & Adams, author of many successssful plays. 

The work of preparation was done with difficulty as the men were in 
the trenches all week, but on Friday night, the Gymnasium was a real show 
land and hundreds of trench-wearied veterans and uneasy candidates wel¬ 
comed a real diversion for an evening. 

They presented the following program: 

1. “Have a Heart”—Candidate Snyder and Candidates Gillette, Col¬ 
lette, Boardman, R. D. Cooper, Lewis and Pierce, Third Battery. 

2. “The Fourth Battery Rides Away”—Candidates Hartesvelt, Nahi- 
kian, Leek, Stewart and Kitson, Fourth Battery. 

3. Accordeon Specialty—Candidates Schneider and Bechtold, Elev¬ 
enth Company. 

4. Songs—Candidate Jenkin, Third Battery. 

5. “Prisoners at Large”—Candidates Dunne, Story, Brickhead, Stanton, 
Porter, Crane and Reed, Fifth Battery. 

6. “Princess Ino”—Psychic Demonstration—Candidates Gruetner and 
Torson, Fifth Battery. 

7. “Prepare for Action”—Candidates Brookhart and Talkes, Third 
Battery. 

8. Songs—Candidates Henning, Dunne, Thomas and Weller, Fifth 
Battery. 

9. “Gravy”—Candidates Geert and Parchor, Tenth Company. 

10. “My Honolulu Honey Lou”—Candidate Millet and Candidates 
Snyder, Gillette, Collette, Mahon, Pierce, Lewis, Lane, Boardman, Frost, Nor¬ 
ton, Tait, Tilleson, Wells, Cooper, Quinnell, Thomas, Bennett, Knutson, Bald¬ 
win, Vogel, Brant, Johnston and Roark. 

The final show was given by the Illinois Regiment. It began with a play 
entitled, “Inertia,” written by J. Lee Nichols of the British Army, with Can¬ 
didate Dick Travers as the star. This was followed by a comedy sketch en¬ 
titled “Barracks Bust,” and another, “Third Regiment Hash,” in which “Ser¬ 
geant Hill,” of Small Problems of Infantry fame made his first entrance on the 
dramatic stage. 

One of the best features of the entertainment was the Third Regiment 
Glee Club and Orchestra, which had been suddenly whipped into shape by 
Candidate Hodge of the Eighteenth Company, formerly bandmaster for Ring- 
ling Brothers Circus.

All candidates agreed that nothing could beat the three entertainments 
given and the applause and enthusiasm throughout repaid the extra effort and 
time given. 

The final week in the trenches—the third in the series—began on the 
twelfth week. The instructors desired during this week to teach the following 
lessons: 

1. Camouflage of Trenches.—The student officers camouflaged the 
important sections of the trenches, the machine gun emplacements, battery 
supports. Part of it was a work of art. 

2. Organization of the Position.—This included posting of sentinels; 
relief of sentinels; posting of observers; relief of observers; posting of watches; 
relief of watches; giving the alarm in case of troop attack or a gas attack and 
other matters relating to interior life of the trenches. 

3. Providing against night attacks by patrols in No Man’s Land. 

4. Construction of barbed wire entanglements. 

5. Communication between the different parts of Trench System by 
chains of runners and communication with the artillery support by means of 
rockets, etc. Drill in the placing and firing of flares. 

6. Drill in offensive and defensive attacks and general maneuvers 
by day and night. 

The week went off fine. The three months’ work of instruction, training 
and organization were beginning to tell. There was confidence, earnestness 
and rapid movement. Underlying it all was the constant pressure of the fact 
that probably the next trial out in the trenches would be in far away France. 

The movements in the trenches and in the attacks went off like clock 
work. The night was illumined by constant setting off of flares, the sharp 
cracking of rifles and the whirr and crack of the bursting rockets, while the 
boom of the heavy guns carried far distant and kept the North Shore awake 
through a large part of the night and brought hundreds from all sections who 
witnessed the night movements from the central road. 

The “Reveille” said, “Tuesday night’s sham battle was the most inter¬ 
esting and spectacular held at Fort Sheridan. Seven companies under com¬ 
mand of Major Ff. R. Smalley attacked the trenches, defended by eleven com¬ 
panies under command of Major C. A. Bach. The attack came in waves, 
twenty minutes apart, running from the East to the West Sectors. 

All commands were given by rockets and signal fires. Thirteen trench 
mortars firing aerial bombs simulated exploding shells over the trenches and 
No Man’s Land. Star shells, flares, rockets and “Bengal” lights kept up a 
constant illumination and the booming of rockets and rifles in the hands of 
2,000 fighting men made the work most realistic yet attempted.” 

During the week one of the officers took some friends to dinner at a 
neighborhood hotel. This hotel had prospered largely during the Camps and 
had always been particularly gracious to the men at Fort Sheridan. 

The proprietor’s humor seemed to be way off. He called the officer 
aside and told him that the big guns woke up some of his nervous guests in the 
middle of the night and that there were a lot of complaints from people who 
came out there to be quiet.

The officer listened to him courteously and attentively and then without 
a smile on his face, replied, “Leave it to me. I will fix it up all right. I will 
communicate with headquarters and have them stop the war.” 

The last week in the trenches gave both officers and men new confidence 
and a deep sense of satisfaction for all the work done, and helped to deepen 
ties of friendship and personal acquaintance already strong among the men. 
Assisting Senior Instructor Major Cromwell Stacey in all the plans for trench 
work, were Major Solbert of the Engineers and Captain Georges Etienne 
Bertrand, whose wealth of experience and practical knowledge were a great 
In closing his service at Fort Sheridan and before going to Camp Grant, 
Captain Bertrand wrote this letter to the men of the Camp: 
factor in the rapid development of the student candidates. 

My dear Comrades: 

You will soon receive your commissions. And now you, in your 
turn, are called to lead men into battle. You will do it with the double 
application of audacity and that efficiency which every American puts 
into practice when he treats of a business matter. You will do it also with 
that positive consciousness of the right road, that freshness of sentiment, 
that enthusiasm which characterizes your people when it concerns a moral 
matter. As I have written over there to my chiefs, to my friends and also 
to that little family which I left for a time, the officers and men of my 
battalion—I have no fears about seeing you at work. In fact, I am con¬ 
fident of the work which you are going to accomplish because of the 
results which you have gained here in three months. It was not possible 
to do more in this space of time. I do not say that you are military 
experts, but this war, in its application, is not a science, it is a practical art. 
You will be good workmen, for you have a clear and general knowledge 
of your trade. You are qualified to take a command. Now you must 
bend your efforts toward two points. I have the privilege of giving you 
this last advice. First, train yourself in leading your unit—that is to say, 
practice your command on the ground, make rapid decisions, and make 
them well, because on them depends the life of the men who follow you, 
and therefore they are the very element of success. Then perfect your 
instruction by going into details, particularly into those which concern 
the specialties born of this war. You will see according as you study 
them what value they have. For him who has faith, the command of a 
company under fire has a powerful attraction. One of my comrades 
said, “War would have passionate interest without shells, bullets, mud or 
barbed wire.” He was right, but he could have added, at the risk of 
complimenting himself: “It is that which makes it inspiring.” 

If I have had some influence on the course of your military instruc¬ 
tion, I am happy and grateful. My help would have been impossible 
without your indulgence and good will. I thank you with all my heart. 

I thank your instructors who have made my task easy. Colonel Ryan, 
Commandant of the Camp; Lieut.-Col. Stacey, senior instructor, and all 
the officers, my comrades, with whom we have co-operated in the com¬ 
mon task. In particular the collaboration which Major O. N. Solbert and 
I have brought to bear on the drawing up of our lectures remains as one 
of the most vivid memories of my mission as a French officer in this 
country. 

There is also something for which I wish to thank you which does 
not transmit itself into tangible and material form. It is the sympathy

THE FORT SHERIDAN ASSOCIATION 





THE SECOND OFFICERS’ TRAINING CAMP 395 


which you have shown me, it is the welcome you have given me here. I 
will never forget the sight of you as an audience when I addressed you. 
Your eyes were so bright and so clear, your smiles were so frank, your 
appreciation was so loyal and so spontaneous, that fearful at the begin¬ 
ning of my speech to hurl myself before you “over the top,’’ I felt at ease 
in the middle of it, and toward the end 1 did not want to stop. I have 
come to love you as I have loved my officers and my chassesurs. And it is 
not without a heart wrench that I say to you’adieu.” I do not think there 
is any people more hospitable than yours. In the circle of our work, in 
the atmosphere of the post, you have proved it to me, as I have felt it 
with emotion in the larger frame of the social life of America. 

And now, continue to work until the end, until victory. The date is 
immaterial, since it will come. I have even heard it said here through 
courtesy to me that the United States owed a debt to France, because 
France had assisted at its birth and at the beginning of its formidable 
entrance into contemporary history. Be that as it may, if it were true as 
those pretend who do not know us, that France before this war was very 
ill, was already dead, if this were true, then you may be sure that the 
great American Republic will assist in the near future to the rebirth of the 
old, but always glorious France.

During the last week, which might be fittingly entitled “Worry Week,’’ 
there were many minor happenings. There was a review by the Governors 
of Kansas and Michigan and the Commanding Officer. There was the farewell 
reception in the Gymnasium on the last Sunday evening with addresses by the 
Commanding Officer, Colonel James A. Ryan, Major E. J. Vattman, Chaplain 
of both Camps; W. F. Hypes, representing the Y. M. C. A., and Myron E. 
Adams, Director of Morale. 

Those who had a chance to look the three regiments in the face that 
Sunday night as one after another they marched into the hall and took their 
places, will not soon forget, the wonderful good spirit, the high purpose or the 
strong manliness of these men. It was the privilege of a lifetime to have had 
these associations—to have been even for a time part of an organization that 
was made up of the best men ever. 

There were 4,000 nervous, anxious men trying to smile and work and 
sleep that last week, but “Their minds had but a single thought.” Those who 
had been at the First Camp will recall the same experience. All pride, con¬ 
fidence and assurance seemed to depart. There were no exceptions. It was a 
week of real humiliation. 

The state of mind was hard to describe. Probably it was much harder 
inside than even the outside impression. It might be compared to a man just 
about to hear the decision of a jury that is to acquit or convict him; a man 
waiting to hear what his beloved is going to say to his proposal, or the man 
who hesitates to open the business letter on his desk which will make or 
break him.

AN AIRPLANE VIEW OF THE WOODEN BARRACKS 


The morning finally came when the candidates were slated to appear 
before the examining board. They didn’t say much. Some sat on the edges 
of their bunks, others walked aimlessly around. The company humorist, with 
his teeth chattering, tried to pull something funny, but it sounded like a laugh 
at a funeral. They looked at each other and then fell to musing. 

Then the sergeant, as nervous as the rest appeared, and with an air about 
as snappy as a conscientious objector on police duty, said “Fall in.” 

They fell in. It was the strangest company formation in the entire Camp. 
Like a winding snake it watched outside the door. Sometimes when we see 
some self-confident ex-officer striding down Michigan avenue we think of how 
he looked that morning as he approached the judgment place where sat 
Colonel Ryan, Major Stacey and his regimental battalion and company com¬ 
manders. 

The door opens. A name is called. What will it mean? Success or 
failure—a majority or nothing. The victim steps out—the center of staring 
eyes and burdened hearts. He starts for the door—tries to smile, but no 
smile will come. 

He has planned every step in advance. He has dreamed about it all 
night—he approaches the mess hall where the board is sitting, stumbles on the 
step and almost falls headlong. His plans are gone—the Red Tape is cut 
into smithereens. The door opens and he finds himself inside. 

What is he there for? Shall he salute? What will he do with his hands? 
Must he stand at attention or at ease? Should he smile and be natural or be 
stern and severe?

“Your name,’ someone asks. He remembers that. Other questions 
follow equally simple. Are they asking him such easy ones because they think 
he doesn t know anything more? Then they ask him one which makes him 
stumble and he wishes they hadn’t. 

They don’t seem to be listening to what he says anyway. They are 
glancing at his reports on that piece of paper. What is there on it? Have 
they located the time he dropped his gun or the time he gave the wrong com¬ 
mand and spoiled the company formation? Has the company commander 
noted the period when he was discouraged and blue and didn’t keep up 
the pace? 

Now they are looking the candidate over. He is tall and thin; he wishes 
he was stocky and fat. He is stout and short. He wishes he was as thin as a 
bean pole. He is past forty. He wishes he was twenty-five. He is twenty- 
two. He wishes he was past forty. He is a college graduate and a lawyer— 
he wishes he was a mechanic or a miner. Just for a moment to be somebody 
else, the man they are looking for. 

He is asked other questions. Then the board seems to be in a dispute. 
Someone is against him. He knew it all the time. They had it in for him 
because, etc. Then a crisp command—“That will do! You may go!” What 
will do? Why must he go? Go out of this room and let them talk about him 
behind his back. Not he. He almost forgets he is a soldier. 

He looks at them. They are no longer interested. Another number and 
another name are before him. Twenty-three is on his way. He must do some-

thing. He is still a soldier. There is something a soldier does when he with¬ 
draws from his superior officer even when he is sore. Subconsciously he is 
sure of that. He hesitates, hoping it will come to him. 

His head does not work, but his feet will. Suddenly they act. He opens 
the door, passes out into the open air. The cool breezes waken his soldier 
sense. HE HAS FORGOTTEN TO SALUTE! Now it is too late. What a 
tale. He has traveled these three months along the path of training and dis¬ 
cipline to forget the simplest act of army discipline? He recognizes his com¬ 
rades who, all in turn, go through the same experience. 

The commissions were given out on Monday and with them an assign¬ 
ment to duty. Of course there were happy surprises and disappointments. 
Some three thousand new officers were made that day for the field forces of 
the Army. 

One unfortunate rookie who had carelessly but freely shown his bunkies 
a nice pair of gold oak leaves for his majority, which he had bought at the 
beginning of the Camp was compelled to go out and buy the single gold bar of 
“the shave-tail” and he was lucky at that. 

After the newly-commissioned officers had seen their assignments there 
was many changes of plan. More than 1,500 were ordered to immediate 
service overseas. Some to put into practice what they had begun to learn in 
the protected area of Fort Sheridan. 



All was bustle and haste. Only time to buy equipment, to say good-bye 
to friends and to take the train back home before entering on the great 
adventure. 

It was at this time the Fort Sheri¬ 
dan Association first showed its worth, 
as thousands of men reaped its benefits 
in decreased cost of equipment and 
loans amounting to more than one hun¬ 
dred and fifty thousand dollars. There 
was a deep human tie in the Fort Sheri¬ 
dan Camp of friendship and mutual con¬ 
fidence out of which such an idea was 
born and made practical. It was with 
real hope of a perpetual friendship that 
these days were ended.

Their courage and ability surpassed even 
our own faith in them. If we could only

Extracts from Articles-Citations-Letters-“From Over There” 


THE BATTLEFIELD OF SERGY 

(Cabled by an Eye-witness) 

The American Front! There’s a meadow of memories today at Sergy. 
Back home Americans may remember the thrill they got when they read in 
their newspapers how husky American doughboys met the flower of the 
German Army—the picked Prussian Guard—and licked him in good Ameri¬ 
can fashion. They may recall that Sergy changed hands nine times in the 
fighting that swayed back and forth over the town and the field. They may 
know now, as was stated then, that not a battlefield in all battle-torn France 
has seen more desperate conflict than this. 

But today all is sunny and peaceful around Sergy. One must look be¬ 
neath the fast-growing wheat and oats of the green hillside to see the countless 
evidences of the battle. Only it is a strange carpet and one that has not yet, 
in a month’s time, had time to weave its greenery over bare graves, pitifully 
bare, under which repose heroic American dead and over which defiantly 
waves the Red, White and Blue for which they died in glory. 

Below the meadow lies Sergy, the powdered ruin of a city, its houses 
tumbled in shaky cardboard shapes where American artillery and American 
machine gun fire—even American hands—pulled it down, but it is the ground 
above that thrills the most. Almost every square yard has its evidence of how 
Americans fought and died. Not a month’s kindly sunshine and cooling rains, 
not even the Army of Reclamation that travels back of the Army of Occupa¬ 
tion has yet effaced these marks of conflict. 

The dead are gone, of course. Crosses rear above the grass. The sun 
slants on American identification discs tacked to the arms, showing where 
American dead sleep in the peace that knows no wars. 

Back in a little clump of woods above the slope, American soldiers evi¬ 
dently prepared for battle. Still tucked in a splinter of sapling—cut down 
by a German shell—is a bit of trench mirror. Some husky American boy 
smoothed his hair by its reflection, perhaps shaved as he joyously prepared 
for battle. 

Here it was also that these boys stripped for action. An overcoat lies 
dropped on the ground exactly as it was thrown from some pair of stalwart 
shoulders as they sturdily bore an American rifle forward toward Germany. 

A shattered rifle butt tells another story. 

In two or three hurriedly scooped out shelters, there are still blue-green 
German uniforms—their wearers killed or fled back as the Americans came 
victoriously on. 

A perfect litter of letters, of shaving paste, of toothbrushes, of extra 
shoes, of broken belts, predominates everywhere as one walks onward and

downward toward Sergy. They crunch under foot. They lie in heaps and 
mounds next to tiny little scoops in the ground where some American boys 
stooped close to get shelter from the deadly rain of steel and lead that swept 
into their faces. They line the rims of queer inverted cone-shaped holes in 
the ground that one knows from the churned-up soil, where shells from the 
German batteries landed. 

Splinters of those same shells clanked with metallic sound with the empty 
cartridge shells. American “tin hats” are strewn around. Some are seared 
and torn, some are punctured in such fashion that one knows that if worn the 
head it covered must have been torn. 

Further on down, thrice as much litter tells where the German line finally 
wavered and broke and swept back on Sergy. The gray-green overcoats, 
tunics, gas masks and even small tent flaps proclaim eloquently how hot must 
have been the fighting there and how hurriedly the Boche slipped down the 
hill in front of the Americans. 

Here and there is an American uniform, not many, but they show how 
the two lines must have met and struggled back and forth. 

Just back of this someone has mercifully ploughed under what must have 
been the greatest ruin and litter of all. 

One comes almost to the village and looks back over the greening 
ground; silhouetted on the horizon a new forest has grown up. It is a forest of 
American graves and American crosses where the seeds of death sown in that 
inferno have blossomed their crop. 

Close to the winding country road is one group just a little more pre¬ 
tentious than the rest. 

One cross stands a little more proudly erect in its vigil over the sleeping 
legions. It broods over two smaller ones inclosed in a rudely constructed little 
fence. One goes closer. The largest cross bears on its sweeping arm, written 
in black pencil, the inscription “Lieutenant Lee N. Wall, St. Louis, Missouri” 
[18th Co. 2nd Fort Sheridan R. O. T. C.]. And below, half-obliterated by 
the rain and weather are written the lines, “He met his God like a soldier.” 
And below boldly, so that all may read: “Killed in action, July 31st, 1918.” 
Atop the cross, tacked on, is the gold bar that the lieutenant once bore so 
gallantly on his shoulder. 

The two graves on either side show he died beside two of his own dough¬ 
boys—an officer fighting side by side with his men. 

One hesitates to push back a fast-coloring and slowly yellowing slip of 
cardboard that is tacked square on the grass where Lieutenant Wall lies; but 
one edge shows the face of a smilingly happy baby and the ink on the back of 
the photograph carried some inscription of love and cheer. 

There is a memory in every inch of Sergy. 

There will be memories ever proud in the hearts of mothers, sisters, 
fathers, brothers and friends of those who lie buried there. 

There must be a reverent memory in the hearts of all Americans who 
may come later to know what Sergy meant.

“Dear Sir:— 


“Your kind sympathy so much appreciated. I have tried so often to 
write you but sometimes I must say it is impossible. 

“I have received so many letters from his college presidents, his pro¬ 
fessors, his employers covering his work from the age of fifteen. It has been 
so comforting to me to know that other people always appreciated him. I 
want to tell you a few things about my boy so that you will know him 
better too.

mar school and went to New York. There he stayed for two years working 
during the day for one firm from 7 a. m. until 6 p. m.—for another from 8 
p. m. to 1 2 p. m. and on Sundays for another. 

Then he came home and worked two years more. By that time he went 
to the academy, working always at some extra task. Later he entered Dwight 
working at night as advertising agent for the New York Times. The next fall 
he entered Washington and Lee University. There he was manager of the 
college paper, also the Student Hotel for a while until he found he could not 
stand it all. 

He worked all vacation until he graduated at law, then went to Chicago 
and worked in the Executive Department of Sears, Roebuck & Co. At night 
he attended Kent Law School. 

“To the best of my knowledge he has not taken three weeks’ vacation 
since he was twelve years of age and I have not bought him a suit of clothes 
since then or given him a dollar. Now, that was not because he had to, that 
was the unusual part of the boy, but because he was so responsible, so inde¬ 
pendent and he was always helping others. 

His father died in 1913 just as he was entering college. Of course after 
that I could not help him, but before I could if he would let me. His friends 
who knew him best have told me since, he had done work enough for any man 
at the age of fifty. 

He had just attained the place where it was not so hard for him to go 
forward and enjoy some ease when Uncle Sam called. He asked for the 
privilege of being the first to register in his district and was granted it. 

It was so hard for me to let him go, as his brother was already a member 
of the National Guard, 4th Virginia. I felt that if one went that I should have 
one left at home to take care of his sister and me. But when I would argue, 
he would say, ‘Mamma, you did not raise slackers. I can do more really fight¬ 
ing for you than I can staying back.’ 

“Then I would say, ‘Son, why will you and your brother go to the slaugh¬ 
ter pen as I see the infantry ? He would say, Mother our physical examina¬ 
tions are perfect.’ Then he went to the Fort Sheridan Officers Training Camp. 
A year ago yesterday he wired me these words: ‘Mamma, my happiest Thanks¬ 
giving I made my commission.’ 

“From then until Christmas he traveled for Uncle Sam downing German 
propaganda, arriving home Christmas day. He gave all of his time after the 
camp to the government except the brief stay for the holidays. 

“On the eleventh of January, he and I went to New York City to report 
for overseas. He sailed January 20, 1918. All his letters were so cheerful, 
begging me not to worry, he was coming back so much better than he went 
over. That was his plan, but God willed it otherwise. He sent a letter to his 
brother-in-law for me written May 15th to be opened in case the enemy 
knocked him out for good, and in that letter as all others, he still planned for 
me as if he was going on a long journey. And his last message was ‘Au revoir 
till we meet again.’ 


LETTER FROM LIEUTENANT ADRIAN C. EDWARDS, CARROLLTON, 
ILL. [22nd Company, Second Fort Sheridan R. O. T. C.], TO HIS 
MOTHER—READ BEFORE CONGRESS 

“Somewhere-in-France, June 12, 1918. 

“My dear Mother: I am about to go into battle and have instructed the 
company clerk to send you this letter in case I become a casualty, hence the 
receipt of this letter by you will indicate that I am either with God or a pris-

oner in the hands of the enemy. Since I will never become a prisoner of the 
Huns, if I remain conscious and able to fight, it is doubtful if I will ever be an 
inmate of a German prison camp. 

“Do not grieve that I am among the missing, but rather rejoice that you 
have given a son in sacrifice to make the greatest military caste of all times 
lay down the sword, to save civilization, to prevent future wars, to punish the 
Huns—who have disregarded every law of God and mankind, whose only 
god is the god of war and military force—and to make the world safe for 
democracy. 1 desire that you view the matter in the light and spirit of the 
Spartan mothers of old, who, when their sons went forth to battle for freedom 
and their native land, said to their sons: ‘Either come home proudly bearing 
your shield before you or upon it.’ 

“War was absolutely necessary on the part of my country, and, although 
I was 34 years old and nobody expected me to go, yet some one had to go; 
some one must make the sacrifice; some mother must lose her son. 

“In the light of these facts, and knowing our country’s great need, I 
volunteered and have never for one moment regretted my decision, and I will 
not, although my life and the useful career must end. Life is not the highest 
boon of existence. There are ideals that are superhuman, interests greater 
than life itself, for which it is worth while fighting, suffering and dying. 

“If possible, after the war, I would like for my remains to be brought to 
America and interred at White Hall. I have provided well for your support, 
as I have a $10,000 insurance policy with the Government and several thou¬ 
sand with the old-line companies. My friend, Thompson, and Jess have these 
policies and other valuable papers. 

“Good-bye, mother; I will see you in the next world. You may know 
that I died fighting for you, my country, and all that life holds dear. 

“Your son, ADRIAN.” 


A CITATION 

Theodore Hoyer [9th Company, Second Fort Sheridan R. O. T. C.], 
serving with the famous Second Division in the Chateau Thierry Drive, who 
had been through the hard fighting of many days, writes to his wife on the 
Fourth of July, 1918, as follows: 

“On the Fourth of July I was in the front line. A number of men from 
each company were sent to Paris to represent the division. On returning, 
these men told me that the orators in the various banquet halls all referred to 
our Division as the glorious regiments which saved Paris.’ Nothing in Paris 
was too good for these boys. Naturally, we are quite proud now. While 
Paris was celebrating the Fourth, we were being mercilessly shelled in our 
position. A feeling of great exhilaration went through my whole being when 
I thought that I, poor little IQ,’ should be on the line doing my little bit, but 
yet my best bit, in holding the line, so that the people back there in Paris might 
enjoy the Fourth. It shall always be the greatest Fourth of July in my expe¬ 
rience. Many men were decorated by General Pershing for special bravery, 
and they deserve the honor. As for me, it took all my physical energy and 
moral stamina to carry out my orders. Don’t expect any hero stunts from me. 
A few who want to be especially heroic come out alive, but most of them die. 
This is no war for grandstand plays. Hard, earnest work and saving of your 
own men’s lives, if you can do so and still carry out orders, is my policy. If 
orders come to gain an objective which cannot be got except through a spe¬ 
cially difficult and heroic effort, why then, of course, we shall not fail to play

our part; you can trust us for that. But I have never believed in having your 
men slaughtered uselessly. This is a Hun idea, not an American. As it is, 
I have lost more men than I care to tell about.” 

Shortly afterward. Lieutenant Hoyer was killed. 

Here is the letter which his Commanding Officer wrote, concerning the 
manner of his death: 

On July 1 8th your husband, who was an officer in my company, attacked 
the Germans along with the rest of us, at a point just about southwest of 
Soissons. I saw him just as the company started out. He was at the head of 
his platoon, and strolling along as though out for a pleasure walk. After the 
battle I learned from his men that he was calm and cool during the whole 
attack; and that his actions and his manner of unconcern for the bullets that 
were flying about gave them great confidence and courage. 

Lieutenant Hoyer carried his platoon through to the objective and then 
ordered the men to ‘dig in’ and get under cover. While they were doing this 
he noticed several wounded men, lying in the open, exposed to machine gun 
fire and snipers bullets. He called for volunteers to go with him to bring in 
the wounded and, with two non-commissioned officers, he went out and car¬ 
ried back three of the wounded. He started on his second trip, but just as he 
passed a stone wall several rifles opened fire on the party and your husband, 
who was in the lead, fell forward on his face. The rifle fire was getting very 
close to them, so the other men had to leave Lieutenant Hoyer and get 
under fire. 

“I was your husband’s company commander and I thought a great deal 
of him, as a soldier and as a gentleman—all of the men were very fond of 
him, too.” 


Here is a strange aftermath of the War—a type of heroism which happens 
not merely at the front, but wherever real men face a great emergency. 

Among the many instructors at the First Fort Sheridan Camp was a 
Captain of Artillery named Harold Hubert Bateman. He was 28 years old 
when the war started. He had been in the army since 1909, served two years 
in the Philippines, was in the Mexican Expeditionary Forces, and had been 
instructor at Fort Sheridan and Plattsburg. During the war he commanded 
the 1 6th Field Artillery of the Fourth Division, in the Chateau Thierry, Marne, 
St. Mihiel and Argonne-Meuse offensives, where he made a name for himself, 
both as to his ability and his courage. He typified all that was best in the 
Regular Army officer; a very quiet, simple man, thoroughly interested in his 
work, efficient in his knowledge of artillery operations and wonderfully inter¬ 
ested in the care of the men who served under him. He was the kind of a 
man that would be followed blindly by his men, not merely because he was 
courageous, but because he had a real gift in showing his consideration for 
them. He knew that the power to command was not an arbitrary one, but 
that it grew out of the mutual relationship of dependency between officers 
and men. 

After returning from his services abroad, Colonel Bateman was stationed 
at Fort Sill, Okla. Late on July 4, 1919, Private Joe Bukoby, of the 14th 
Field Artillery, was riding along the bank near Medicine Creek. Colonel 
Bateman had been fishing nearby and saw Private Bukoby thrown from his 
horse in a deep and dangerous water. As the man was unable to swim, 
Colonel Bateman rushed to his assistance and swam out to him. The soldier 
grabbed hold of Colonel Bateman in such a way as to prevent him from 
giving any material assistance. The Colonel could have broken the hold and 
left the man to his fate, but he refused to do this. He tried his best to struggle 





406

with the soldier and to bring him back in safety to the bank, but both sank. 
They rose to the surface and Captain LeGette, who had been nearby, rushed 
in and tried to help him, but all three went down. Captain LeGette, however, 
was able to save himself, and the Colonel of the regiment and the private in 
the ranks, with their arms about each other, lay down in Hoyl’s Hole in 
Medicine Creek. Colonel Bateman leaves a wife and a little girl. It is not 
in vain that a Lieutenant Colonel, commanding a regiment, should offer up the 
supreme sacrifice for an enlisted man that happened not to be even a member 
of his own command. 


A LETTER 

In closing, just a word from the bravest of the brave—a wife and three 
little girls who gave their best with as brave a heart as the strongest who went 
over the top: 

“I wish I were able to tell you how much your kind letter meant to me 
at the time when there was such a great big ache in our hearts, but words seem 
to fail, and I can only say to you, and to Mr. Moseley’s [Captain Arthur Eames 
Moseley, 23rd Company, Second R. O. T. C.] Brother Officers, ‘Thank you,’ 
not only for your kind expressions of sympathy, but for your interest in us. 
We have three little girls: Lily, aged twelve; Frances, ten, and Olive, nine. 
Lily is in the seventh grade; Frances in the sixth, and Olive in the fourth. 

“They have been very brave and a great comfort to me. They said, 
while their eyes were filled with tears, ‘Mother, dear, you know Daddy died 
just like he would have chosen to die, right in the front line, leading his men, 
and we are just going to help you do all we can, until victory is won.’ 

“Of course, we get dreadfully lonely sometimes, but there is only joy 
in our hearts that we were able to give our very best for the cause of freedom. 
His sacrifice and ours was made willingly, and we are trusting daily for strength 
for every need, and our Heavenly Father is not failing us.’’
